Is Flash Player available in FF 77?
We are using a Micro Focus enterprise application that still, for now, relies on Flash. The product will not retire Flash altogether until November 2020.
Yesterday I was able to view Flash objects in this application, but today, on 77, the Flash player is disabled and I cannot figure out out to enable it. I am accustomed in Chrome to having to enable Flash for this application on each launch of Chrome...it is available in the site settings. In FF77 I cannot find a similar site-specific one-time-enable option.
Is there a secret to enabling Flash for a site in FF77?
Thanks!

With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer enabled until you enable it.
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A
On the left side of the page, select Plugins.
Please see this article:

"As part of the ongoing Flash plug-in support deprecation, Firefox 69 has removed the “Always Activate” option from the page notification dialog and the “Remember this decision” option from the Add-on Manager. It means, from now on, Firefox will ask the user every time if they want to show Flash content on a website during a browser session, and the user won’t be able to change this behaviour.
IOW, different that how Google Chrome handles Flash content.

If you leave Firefox running (i.e. do not close Firefox) then Firefox should remember the activate choice for the current session.
ways make sure to update Flash top the latest version because older versions are blocked as they have security issues.
You can download the latest NPAPI Flash plugin for Firefox on this page.
Make sure to remove checkmarks for including unwanted additional software.
