Safari 5.1.7 - Disables out of date Flash

[CasperSally]

After figuring out how to block Firefox from blocking what they deem unsafe this week, the latest Safari download now boasts blocking out of date flash versions.

Is anyone aware of a way to disable this? I'm not against pushing new flash updates - but we need to test various plugins, etc first.

The KB describes how to re-enable the plugin like this:

If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following: Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder. Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Seems odd to me, though - unless it's a one-off check, then I would think Safari would just move it back again - and around you go...
