Flash content Not Showing in an iFrame from a Local Page That Has a Web Link.
<iFrame
Align="Middle" Name="7-Day Flash Loop" Width="1600" Height="900" Scrolling="Auto" FrameBorder="1" Src="http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/day0-7loop.html">
</iFrame>
The iFrame is blank, not showing the Flash weather maps from the above noted Website. This worked as is in earlier FF versions years ago.

Years? Maybe you're thinking of Firefox 54?
Let's see if this works on yours:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste plug*ht and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the plugins.http_https_only preference to switch the value from true to false -- this allows flash loaded through other protocols, such as file://
You'll need to reload your local page before Firefox will process the Flash object.

54 was when it last worked? I know I wanted to update my local weather page for some time and find out why 3 of my Flash iFrames were not working.
Thanks! It is now working again. Let's do a 'Happy Dance'!

Yes, that setting was added in Firefox 55. I guess it took a while to reach the "worth posting on the forum" level of aggravation.
