The latest flash player has 'ask to activate' selected by default and it can't be changed to always activate. This results in one of my Facebook games always asking to run Adobe Flash every time.

hello, the flash plugin is about to be sunset by adobe and all browser vendors within the next months - not allowing it to run by default anymore is one of the steps in the transition away from it.

Hello ds123,

That's how it is for everybody now on every site that uses Flash (same in Edge).

Sites that still use Flash (and unfortunately a lot of games sites do) need to ask to enable/allow Flash each time you visit that site. Sites that use Flash would do that anyway, when people hadn't set Shockwave Flash to "Always Activate". I hope that all sites that still use Flash will realize that Flash is almost "End Of Life"; they will have to, if they want people to keep playing their
games ......
