  How can Firefox fuck up so badly that they break all add-ons for all users?

  Anyone know if the Brave browser will still support flash after 2020? I'm very close to changing.

  Is there ANY browser out there that have said they will keep flash support?

  IDK, palemoon probably will. If not you could just download an older version.

  I just got Firefox Nightly and turned off the setting that blocks unverified add-ons

  I just did a clean Windows 10 install and downloaded Firefox. Flash is fucking GONE.

  There's nothing in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. If you search for "flash" or "shockwave" you only
  get fucking browser skins.

  WHAT THE FUCK MOZILLA, why the fucking fuck is flash gone in fucking 2019??? This should be no
  problem until January 2021, Mozilla themselves said so.

  There's no God damn reason to remove flash, forcing people to click to play a flash file works
  just fine. I've not heard about ANY security exploit in flash for like 4 years, it's clearly
  enough to sandbox it properly and require click-to-play.

  you can always download the standalone flash player from adobe. i've been using that as more and
  more websites fuck up access to flash games.

  we know we can play flash files offline, but that's not the same at all.

  Hope you're right abut pale moon. Running older versions of browsers forever isn't exactly ideal.

  Solved this by going to:
  https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
  And downloading "install_flash_player.exe" from the link named "Flash Player for Firefox -
  NPAPI". Ran it, restarted Firefox and I had flash again.

  I thought Firefox would pick up on the fact that windows 10 comes with flash pre-installed
  (there's an entry in the control panel) but I guess it is either only for Internet Explorer or it
  is incompatible with Firefox 64-bit (says 32-bit in the control panel).

  Just set firefox to always open files with the projector in the 'Open with' dialogue.

  Just switched to Waterfox. Kind of sad since I have been using Firefox for a decade. But if all
  my addons are broken by an update I didn't approve to install then what is the point

  still not the same. im not thinking from a "i want to be able to play flash" perspective, im
  thinking from a "i want people will still make new flashes" perspective.

  normies wont jump through hoops to playback swf files using offline projectors and if 90% of the
  audience don't want to go through the trouble required to view flashes the artists won't make new
  swfs and people won't bother sharing links to swf files. i don't want to just be able to enjoy
  flash, i want flash to stay alive.

  browsers not playing flash isn't simply "a move to offline projectors". it basically puts flash
  on the same tier as Commodore 64, you can download C64 programs and run them through a dedicated
  program but nobody except a very dedicated few will bother with it. and so the world forgets
  about flash. C64 is understandable but killing of flash is in no way necessary.
