Adobe Flash Player End of Support - How to Play in Firefox and Alternatives to Chrome

Question

Adobe Flash Player has just ceased to be supported and, as announced, is being blocked from today on:

but only in Firefox because it still works in Chrome. Of course, I omit the fact that the .SWF file can be saved on the disk and opened using the old IE6, for example.
How do I work around this to still be able to open in Firefox?

Kolobos · Accepted Answer

Maybe such a modification will help: yes:

Kolobos · Answer

You can always use an older portable version with flash support. Possibly something of this type ->

Gelip · Answer

I'm using an older version right now - it's Firefox ESR 52.9.0. On Chrome 49.0.2623.112m works. Maybe it is enough to change the User-Agent?

Gelip · Answer

Oh, and this kind of help I understand because it works and that's what it was about I have searched for a solution on msfn before but not exactly. If we are using the 32-bit version of Firefox, it is enough to modify the 32-bit .dll file NPSWF32_32_0_0_465.dll in a location depending on the version of Windows: [*: edc41d53a2] Win 32-bit: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Macromed \ Flash [*: edc41d53a2] Win 64-bit: C: \ Windows \ SysWOW64 \ Macromed \ Flash [/ list: u: edc41d53a2] In the hex editor, change the string: 000040463E6F7742 to 0000C02055148042 Of course, in the case of Firefox 64-bit, we are modifying the 64-bit version: NPSWF64_32_0_0_465.dll

I use Chrome 37 portable for these sites and it works. It's there until version 8.0 from 2010

Gelip · Answer

But why, as on the last WinXP version of Chrome 49, flash works. The solution to which the Kolobos link and what I wrote in the previous post also takes care of the matter in the MyPal browser, which, like Firefox, uses the same Flash Player plugin.

Let me cut in, so Adobe insisted on uninstalling Adobe Flash until I finally uninstalled it. Does it make any sense now to have it installed and can I download it somewhere and not get info that it needs to be uninstalled? As YouTube switched from Flash-Player to HTML5-Player, it was smooth. What is Adobe Flash going to replace now?

Kolobos · Answer

@pinochio has long since been replaced by HTML5. You can use the Ruffle browser add-on (flash emulator).

Gelip · Answer

There are practically no pages with flash anymore - there are some exceptions or old pages that have not been updated for a long time, so it practically does not make sense to have it installed. The topic is simply a solution to open flash in Firefox, e.g. .SWF file from disk - someone has, for example, a collection of games on disk in this format and likes to play. Another need is, for example, someone has a server in the LAN and once made a flash page and wants to still be able to enter his server through the Firefox browser. If you want to install it, in the attachment I give all offline versions of the latest version 32.0.0.465 of the plugin, i.e. NPAPI, PPAPI and ActiveX.

Robert B · Answer

And here you are very wrong. My children and grandchildren play on this site: If you start it without Flash, it's a brick gold medal

Kolobos · Answer

Maybe someone will come in handy: you can download most flash games (532GB!).

Gelip · Answer

Yes, but sites like this are exceptions and there aren't many of them, and even if they do, they may stop working in 2-3 years Anyway, for me and I can see for you now Flash is useful

pinochio · Answer

From what I can see in my photos before the new installation of the system on a new SSD disk, I had only Adobe Flash Player 32 NPAPI in the installed programs (probably for Firefox 32) 32.0.0.465 from 12/09/2021. Maybe somewhere I had to install it, but since Windows 10 64? Added after 7 [minutes]: In Edge, it opened without any problems for me, but maybe if I wanted to register and play something, it?

Gelip · Answer

I do not know about Win10, but in WinXP NPAPI for Firefox / MyPal, PPAPI for Chrome / Chromium and ActiveX for IE

pinochio · Answer

Well, in Windows 10 I had some need to install the NPAPI Flash plug for Firefox, but since my friend Colobos writes that you can use the Ruffle browser add-on, I don't think I need it at the moment. Besides, I gave up installing Firefox because it turned out to be worse for Windows 10 than Edge.

Robert B · Answer

Then you would have to download either their tragic Launcher, or mod the plugins as in the post # 5 In a browser without Flash, you won't be able to see my daughter's website www.stardoll.com/pl/user/?id=73295628

bolekis · Answer

For me, as it turned out, the program (launcher) supporting the old HP multifunction printer uses Flash :)

I used the method described in post # 5 on "Flash.ocx" (ActiveX) files in the same directories respectively (Windows 8.1 x64).

In addition, you can also download development versions:

pinochio · Answer

Except for Edge this tip doesn't work, it says about this Launcher. Since Flash is no longer supported after the end of 2020, you need to use the downloadable launcher to continue playing Stardoll. Download Launcher!

Robert B · Answer

And you will not play

Gutek2222 · Answer

Good evening, my file does not contain this string 000040463E6F7742 hm .... I use HxD and I am asking for help. I want to log in via the website and here flash kaput to fight for at least a year, help

Gelip · Answer

In what file? Give the exact name.

Gutek2222 · Answer

Well, including NPSWF64_32_0_0_465.dll

Gelip · Answer

You are looking for something wrong - probably text instead of hex.

Gutek2222 · Answer

maybe you can recommend me another simpler program? No hex I was looking for

Kolobos · Answer

Don't make it up, this is a simple program, search for the hex value, type in a string and it will find it.

Gutek2222 · Answer

I was looking as I say and there are no screenshots I can give later

Kolobos · Answer

You do like here: you only choose your file and the given string given here and change.

Gelip · Answer

Interesting, but I think someone ... for 500GB If you could download single games, it would be OK.

Kolobos · Answer

@Gelip there are two versions, the other has only 500MB + 2GB for installation: Flashpoint Infinity 9.0 -> and you only download what you play.
