Years? Maybe you're thinking of Firefox 54?

Let's see if this works on yours:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste plug*ht and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the plugins.http_https_only preference to switch the value from true to false -- this allows flash loaded through other protocols, such as file://

You'll need to reload your local page before Firefox will process the Flash object.

54 was when it last worked? I know I wanted to update my local weather page for some time and find out why 3 of my Flash iFrames were not working.

Thanks! It is now working again. Let's do a 'Happy Dance'!

Yes, that setting was added in Firefox 55. I guess it took a while to reach the "worth posting on the forum" level of aggravation.
