Good news everyone, Firefox can view flash files on /f/ again!
I guess 4chan fixed their faulty server messages.
Could this mean that someone in the staff actually gives a shit about /f/ after all? Or was it
fixed just because it was something broken.

Really? Maybe then it's Firefox that has changed something. Maybe they changed back to how it was
before... /f/ works for me in Firefox 80.0.1.
[Embed] does not work for me but opening the swf in a new tab works. It even works better than it
did before, I've been having some serious performance issues with flash in Firefox, especially
rendering where the screen even turned blank, but right now they work great.

never had a problem viewing flashes in firefox. I would occasionally have to reload the page for
them to work but all you need to do is clear the browser cache to fix that.

Oh, that's what I did was try embed.

wonder why embed doesn't work but opening in a new tab works.
embed works on swfchan (just like it worked in the last version of firefox as well) so maybe it
is Firefox that has changed something after all. and here i was hoping that the staff had noticed
something was wrong with /f/ and fixed it.

What I fucking hate about this newer Firefox versions that it converts files other than what it
actually is, from a single fucking PNG getting converted into .webp file for no fucking reason
And what's the reply of the devs you ask? They were blaming it's the server side of the one
holding the PNG file whereas the older version of firefox gets the PNG normally as it is. Fucking
"Improvements" my ass

you realize website can read the browser version and load a different image based on it?
it's not firefox's fault. the website is brute-forcing doing basic html5 stuff.

It's the server doing it. It spots that your browser is new enough that it should be able to read
webp and sends that version instead to save bandwidth.
I agree that it's annoying because you can't really do anything with webp images. So I just
convert them to PNG...
4chan should support webp. They adopted webm and made it popular, should do the same with webp. I
mean with all of hiroshimoot's whining about bandwidth you'd think he would jump right on board
with the much smaller webp format. It really is an amazing format. He should of course still
support PNG/JPG/GIF.
webp can also be animated images just like gif ones btw, just smaller and with better quality.
though those are rare and websites usually convert gif to mp4, which pisses me off. seems like
thanks to twitter people call any short moving visual a gif, even if it is a movie format (maybe
even if it has sound too)

it pisses me off because it always wreck the quality. meanwhile in animated webp you'll see each
pixel just like you would in a gif (none of those messy video formats). but browser and program
support for animated webp is much lower than static webp files, don't know if that has changed
much in later years

wasn't webm itself supposed to be the gif killer already?

webm is a movie format, with keyframes and non-keyframes and support for audio. it's good for
showing stuff suitable for a video but it isn't an image format. say you have a pixel animation
for example, you won't be able to show it with 100% sharp edges on the pixels if you use webm.
with a gif, animated png or animated webp you can.

Firefox has always worked on /f/, to this day and Firefox 80.
Dumb tech illiterates.

if it's a white screen, I refresh and all remaining flash files work
