Flash Player deactivated in Firefox v 69.0

[debodun]

I just updated to Firefox 69.0 in Windows 7 and now I can't play any online games. I just get a blank screen. The new version of Firefox does not activate Flash Player.

I just got a banner that Chrome will no longer support flash after 12/20. Looks like it is getting phased out. That sucks because most of the games I play use flash, also

To enable Flash when content doesn't display and there is no prompt:

1. Click > Add-ons.
2. Click Plugins.
3. Click Shockwave Flash, then click Ask to Activate or Always Activate.

Here's how to enable Flash Player in Chrome:

1. Open the three-dot menu and select Settings.
2. Scroll to the bottom and click Advanced.
3. Under Privacy and Security, click Site Settings.
4. Under Permissions, click Flash.
5. Enable the setting so the label reads Ask first (recommended).
6. Close the settings tab. You're done!

Except the Firefox v 69.0 had eliminated the Always Activate choice.

There is a way round, supplied by FireFox,
I haven't tried it as I don't mind clicking
the activate button every time I need to
use flash player.

Some site have the activate prompt, but zone.msn.com doesn't.

Why not go back to the previous version of Firefox. Why do you need the new version? I avoid upgrades with my old system. It se ms everything is being upgraded for Windows 10.

Why not go back to the previous version of Firefox.
