[quote=siria]It adds a toggle for "objects" (=plugins like flash, pdf, etc.) to the privacy menu, alongside the blocks for javascript, images, cookies etc.[/quote]

I'm sure it will be very handy for many people.
Nevertheless Flash is a risk and IMHO there is nothing Adobe can do about. It's the way Flash gets handled by the browser. Basically everybody is at risk.

I don't want to make panic just to inform.
I don't even know if there are already (malicious) manipulated/disguised flash files in the wild or if there will be in the future. There are many millions of users viewing flash sites/vids and no complains so far.
All I know is that it's possible to make such files and you can get hit by such files with flash installed and unblocked even if you won't even notice any flash object on the site you visit.

Basically there is almost no warranted secure site not to mention Youtube where anybody can upload vids, you can toggle flash on/off without any theoretic risk at least.

However you can also watch or save your flash vids without making use of flash at all in a much convenient format:
