flash is blocked!

[Sweet_Olivia_]

Chrome is suddenly automatically blocking flash from launching for me and I can not unblock it. My settings are set to allow it and when I go to the settings, it says it isnt blocked but it won't launch. Anyone dealt with this before? My internet went out last night and has just been turned on. Too many technical difficulties these past 24 hours!!

Try Mozilla Firefox. Chrome can sometimes suck.

Figured it out! For some reason I was automatically blocking, I had to switch the settings to asking first.

I couldn't find easier than 'ask first'. It's the same in mozilla

same for me on chrome. block is the default. after you enable it you have to refresh the page. every single time! its annoying for sure, i havent figured out how to save my preference

With all the Flash issues that are going on and will continue to get worse (it's on its way out the door completely if you weren't aware), it's a great time to try MFC's beta version of WebRTC - https://wiki.myfreecams.com/wiki/WebRTC - which is what will replace the regular flash broadcaster when the time comes.

There's no way to save the preference by design - it is one of the last steps in the escalation process that Chrome and Firefox have been for the last two years to get everyone to migrate off of Flash before it is completely removed next year.

Also, jumping to Firefox only helps temporarily - their timeline is slightly behind Chrome's, so it's only a matter of time until they change their setup from having the 'ask first' option to defaulting to block.
