No IE10 Enhanced Protected Mode support yet But the Firefox protected mode is

Flash 11.3.300.214 is available, http://www.filehippo.com/

It includes Protected Mode for Firefox:

"Protected Mode for Firefox — Flash Player Protected Mode is a new security enhancement designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious SWF files against Adobe Flash Player when running in Firefox 4.0+ on Windows Vista and higher. This feature is comparable to the Flash Player Protected Mode in Google Chrome browser, Protected Mode in Adobe Reader, and Office 2010 Protected View", http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/f...ashplayer11-3/

Protected mode for Firefox is certainly a good feature. Can anyone comment yet on the stability of the beta?

Very buggy, indeed!

Tested on Firefox 11.0 and, some web-sites with embedded videos [similar to youTube] wouldn't play at all. Reverted back to Flash 11.2 and the videos loaded and played flawlessly.

I have found no problems at all, using 11.3 with Firefox Beta and IE 9. YouTube and TED work well.

YouTube videos play well without any problems. It's other web-sites with videos that won't play at all.
I don't recall all the sites from the top of my head but I think dailymotion would be one of those sites.

Thanks.

I personally would not run anything Adobe beta other than in virtual machine nor do I condone threads advising users that this may be a feasable operation

It is clearly stated to be BETA software, and users should realise and accept implications therein...
Download page clearly states:

The following downloads provide the Flash Player 11.3 beta installers for Mac and Windows operating systems. The technology is not final therefore we do not recommend this release be used on productions systems or for any mission-critical work.

Not necessarily a recommendation...more a notification.

No problem with Dailymotion in my case.

I have had occasional crashes of the 11.3 beta plugin in FF (12 beta). They are "solved" when the affected pages are reloaded. So far this crashes are tolerable for me, I have had similar experiences with other Flash betas.

My thoughts exactly.

Adobe last week released a new beta of Flash Player that includes silent updates for Macs.

Adobe first included silent updates for OS X in the Flash Player beta a month ago; the version shipped Friday was tagged as "Beta 3."
