Hello. I have a following question:

Since Adobe is dropping the flashplayer plugin and the browser won't be supporting showing of the flash pages then how can view them? Take a notice that many websites (including online games) are made in flash, so it's not good to leave firefox without any support for this technology.

My idea (and a good alternative idea for the plugins) is that firefox should have a build-in flash support that would replace the need of downloading any flash plugins (especially unsupported), with could give a privacy risk for the users

Most websites now use the HTML5 player. This is built into most web browsers.

unfortunatelly, this dosn't solve the problem. On many websites the flash don't want to run even with the mentioned player installed (especially on Linux)

If you have Windows 10 N or KN then you may not have the Media Feature Pack installed. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows

Note that Firefox uses its own NPAPI Flash player unlike browser like Google Chrome that come with their own Flash plugin.

You can download the latest NPAPI Flash plugin for Firefox on this page.
