Will Firefox have its own flash software once Adobe flash is discontinued? Will it continue to work correctly if I remove Adobe Flash as instructed by Adobe? Please send us information on what to do.......Is Shockwave Flash 32.0 r0 Firefox's Adobe Flash alternative -- can I remove Adobe Flash without any problems to Firefox or any other programs?

Hi

This is because Adobe will stop supporting the Shockwave Flash plugin with security updates, so new security issues will no longer fixed and Flash will no longer be supported by newer Firefox versions (85+). I don't know how this will work with Firefox 78 ESR and if this version will continue to support Flash via "Ask to Activate".

Websites that still use Flash will have to switch to HTML5 and JavaScript alternatives.
