How to Allow Flash Content in Firefox

If Firefox blocks a plugin, rather than seeing content, you’ll see a message prompting you to click to run the plugin, such as Adobe Flash.

On some sites, you’ll see just a blank rectangle, and the plugin notification icon will appear toward the left end of the address bar.

If you click the message or the notification icon to activate the plugin, Firefox will prompt you with these options:
• Allow: Activates the plugin on the website, only for a single visit.
• Don’t Allow: Dismisses the notification prompt without activating the plugin.
If you click to activate and allow the plugin, the missing content will load normally. (If it doesn’t, click the reload button in the toolbar to reload the page and try again.)
Your all set! You’ve now enabled Adobe Flash in your Firefox browser.

How to Allow Flash Content in Chrome

When Flash is blocked, click the blocked plugin icon in Chrome’s Omnibox and click “Manage.” This takes you to the Flash settings page, which you can also access from Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Flash.

Click the toggle here to set Chrome to “Ask first” rather than the default “Block sites from running Flash (recommended.)”

Now, when you visit a website with Flash, you can click a Flash object on the web page and click “Allow” to view it.
Your all set! You’ve now enabled Adobe Flash in your Chrome browser.
