Three Flash browsers - Flashfox, Puffin and Photon - all use the cloud to process flash streams, and and in that way support Flash - would FF ever consider this? Certainly, Adobe Flash Player is as dead as a Dodo in 4.2+, and former Flash-friendly browsers like FF, Opera, Boat...etc., no longer support Flash.

Now, accessing Flash sports streams via this cloud route is deeply unpleasant - browsers exploiting Flash access with endless non-removable ads and redirections... it was bad enough before, but even worse now. At least with Firefox/Android there's the possibility of installing Adbock. No such blocks exist in Flash browsers.

Firefox for Mobile hasn't got much going for it - there are better browsers. But if FF morphed into a Flash browser then it would be a stand-out browser.

Adobe has not supported their old Flash 11.1 plugin since Android 4.1 and with Android 4.4 kitKit the Flash plugin not longer works.


A couple bugs to follow. For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum.

Bug 935676 - Flash doesn't work on 4.4 KitKat

Bug 932657 - Shumway: Enable Shumway for Devices without Flash

Yes, it's easy to install Shumway ext. to desktop FF - but chrissakes, I'm no techie ... how are you supposed to install it in Android FF?

Ah! Firefox Nightly

Installed Nightly. Nightly crashes as soon as it’s opened.

I should have left a trail of breadcrumbs to find my way out of this place.
