Hi,

how can i allow flash if i open the Site without will be asked? I have set this in the policies.json. This is currently for testing.

"FlashPlugin": { 

     "Allow": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html"],
     "Default": true,
     "Locked": true
   },

But I always have to allow it extra.

And the second question: Can I hide the "Menu" button via policies.json?

Works for me with the above posted code. 

{
  "policies": {
    "FlashPlugin": {
    "Allow": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/"],
    "Default": true,
    "Locked": true
   }
  }
}

Make sure you have the latest Flash installed.

You can download the latest NPAPI Flash plugin for Firefox on this page.

Try to remove the flash-player.html part and only specify the host. 

 "FlashPlugin": {
     "Allow": ["https://helpx.adobe.com/"],
     "Default": true,
     "Locked": true
 },

Thanks for your input. But it makes no difference. With an older version (63) it also works fine with "flash-player.htm". So seems to have been changed in some version. Someone have an idea how that works with a more recent version.
