I keep getting a pop up to allow adobe flash to run. I'll check off ' remember my decision' and hit allow. Then I'll refresh. But then the popup comes back asking and the little check box is already clicked. I have no idea whats going on . I can't even check if I have the latest version of flash of the website because of this glitch. I even tried waiting after i hit allow. I restarted my bower, checked that I'm on the latest version of firefox.

Make sure you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History).

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.

  • do not clear the Site Preferences
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
  • clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
