Always allow Flash for all pages

I wish to avoid having to click "Allow always" when visiting web pages with an outdated plugin. Please note; I know why the message is there. No need to explain me why. Just want to get rid of that and be able to use Flash.

The direct answer is - update to the latest version of Flash 20.

Mozilla has a soft-block on older versions of Adobe Flash which prohibits "Always Activate" from being selected, so unless you have the latest version of Flash 20 all you're "allowed" is Ask to Activate.

Nanny state control to prevent exploits via out of date add-ons.

This is probably going to get removed but I tried :o 

 Seems everybody else wants to decide what's best for you/me
whether we like it or not.


Anyways this worked for me, use at your own risk :

  • - Type 'about:config' in your address bar
  • - Look for 'extensions.blocklist.enabled' and set it to false.
  • - This will remove the 'is known to be vulnerable' message and re-enable the previously greyed out 'Always activate' option.

Hi Wewpt, you might not realize that the list is used to block malicious as well as vulnerable add-ons, and therefore disabling it is not recommended.
