How You Can Keep the Flash Plugin Activated with Firefox

I use Firefox as my main browser and once every two weeks or so I get the message about my Flash plugin being vulnerable. Like this:

If you click on the "Activate Adobe Flash" you can get Flash back for that site--but not all sites. Yes, you are vulnerable, but it should be your choice--not the programmers of Firefox. Today's culture is one of "we know better, you the customer(user) are not smart enough to decide for yourself."

So I went searching for a global answer to the issue.  It is so hard to find I couldn't find the place where I found the answer when I searched again just now.  So I can't give credit (yet) to the person who I thank profusely for the solution.

Here's what you need to do:

1. In the URL window, type about:config  You will see the following:

     Click on the I'll be careful part. You'll see a list of stuff about the settings for Firefox.

2. Anywhere to the right of the settings, right-click and select New, Boolean

3. In the window type in:  extensions.blocklist.enabled

    The default will be false, which is what you want.

4. Restart Firefox and you will have this solved.  If for some reason you want the blocking to start up again, just go into about:config , find the extensions.blocklist.enabled line and double-click the line.  I also type the word "blocklist" in the search window to easily find the correct settings line.

Good luck.
