Adobe Flash no longer works for all my flash sites. All I get is a black box. From the sounds, the games are running normal, but all I see is a black box. Stupid Microsoft Edge runs them OK. I tried uninstalling with adobe's uninstall, uninstalling it with the control panel, re-installing flash, Clearing caches and cookies. This started about 1-2 weeks ago. I think it was after either a Firefox or Flash update, I don't remember which. I am current with Windows 10, Firefox, and Flash. Have tried to find a way to go back to an older Flash install, but Adobe makes it difficult to do so. Also can't change settings, as the settings menus might be working, but I can't see them in the black rectangle to do it.

Any ideas, other than the usual reload Firefox and / or profiles that they almost always suggest ? I don't want to spend a month in about:config trying to re-do all my settings ! Especially as it may not help !

Support for Adobe Flash in Firefox is slated to be removed later in 2020.

Edge may still use Flash, but that would be using a different version of Flash than what Firefox uses, which is the older NPAPI "plugin" version, a Flash plugin that was made for Netscape, which Firefox is built from and sent as open source to Mozilla in like 1998. Mozilla "owns" the code which became Firefox in 2002; originally known as Phoenix, then Firebird before Firefox in 2004.

Don't know if it actually helped, as I have had problems of this sort before, and they suddenly seem to fix themselves, but I tried toggling the enhanced tracking off, then back on, and suddenly it seems to be working ! I'm happy it's back, so I'll give you the credit ! Odd how I do it for one site, and all of them start working again !
