With Flash set to die at the end of December 2020, If you’re using Flash in the Firefox browser, Firefox 84 is the last version to support it. Firefox 85 in January 2021, will come without Flash support. There will be no setting available to re-enable Flash.
What you need to know:
- Three years back, Adobe announced it will kill Flash at the end of 2020
- Firefox, Chrome, and other browsers also no longer support Flash in 2021
- If you use an older version of Firefox to access Flash content on websites, you’re out of luck. The Flash plugin will stop loading after January 20, 2021.
- If you’re an Enterprise customer who needs Flash licensing support after 2020 or needs help transitioning Flash content to other supported technologies, you should be contacting Adobe’s partner, HARMAN for that.
Firefox 85 scheduled to release on January 26, 2021, will neither support Flash nor offer a setting to enable the same, Mozilla confirms.
The company wants to give the users a heads up that sites that use Flash will stop working in Fx85 with the removal of the plugin.
