Adobe officially discontinued Flash Player at the end of 2020. Therefore, it is recommended not to enable Flash Player for security reasons.
If, for some reason, you need to use Flash content, consider using alternative solutions or updating to newer technologies. Here are steps for the last known versions of the browsers you mentioned (as of January 2022):
Google Chrome:
Flash Player is disabled by default in Chrome. However, if you really need to use it, follow these steps:
- Open Chrome and go to the website where you want to enable Flash.
- Click on the padlock icon in the address bar to the left of the URL.
- In the site settings, find the Flash option.
- Change it from “Block (default)” to “Allow.”
- Refresh the page.
Microsoft Edge:
Microsoft Edge, as of my last update, was based on the same Chromium engine as Chrome. The steps are quite similar:
- Open Edge and go to the website where you want to enable Flash.
- Click on the padlock or information icon in the address bar.
- In the site settings, find the Flash option.
- Change it from “Block (default)” to “Allow.”
- Refresh the page.
Mozilla Firefox:
Flash Player was disabled by default in Firefox, and it needed to be manually enabled. However, Firefox has also removed support for Flash as of January 2021. It’s recommended to use alternative technologies.
If you absolutely need Flash Player, note that these instructions might be outdated, and you should also consider the security risks associated with using Flash. Ideally, you should look for alternatives to Flash, as its use is discouraged due to vulnerabilities and lack of support from major browsers and Adobe.
