Enable Adobe Flash on Main Domain and its Subdomains

more options

Hello,

How can I enable adobe flash on main domain and all its sub domains. I am not sure if I am using the right terms, but basically I want to enable flash at "http://example.com" and all its sub domains such as "http://child1.example.com", "http://child2.example.com" will all work and I do not have to add them each manually. Right now I have to manually add each and every single sub domains I come across.

Thank you

The players should work everywhere unless you set the option no to work, or you are using a blocking add-on. Are you having problems?

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open the Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

On the left side of the page, select Plugins. Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.


Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left click the icon. Select Permissions. In the menu, Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.

I already know this. By default I have it off, I was hoping there was a better way to control the flash through domain names.

Is there a site you don't want the player to run, or run on just one site?

I want it off for most sites and just run on a few selected sites. So default is off.

I already know all that. I was asking if there was a way of allowing it at a domain level, currently I have to manually enable it at every sub-domain (see first post).

Thanks for the help, but it appears Firefox does have this functionality and I was unable to find an addon that allows this.
