Firefox 84 scheduled to remove code to support Adobe Flash

Firefox remove code to support Adobe Flash

Mozilla plans to remove Adobe Flash support in the Firefox 84 release, which is expected in December this year. Additionally, it is noted that Flash may also be disabled earlier for certain categories of users participating in the Fission Page Lock Test (A modernized multi-process architecture that implies dividing isolated processes not on a tab-based basis, but by subdividing them into domains, allowing the iframe blocks to be isolated separately).

Firefox/Mozilla NPAPI or Chromium PPAPI

Let’s remind that Adobe company intends to discontinue the maintenance of Flash technology at the end of 2020. The ability to run the Adobe Flash plugin is still saved in Firefox, but since the release of Firéfox 69 has been disabled by default (left option to individually enable Flash for specific sites). Flash is the last NPAPI plugin that Firefox has maintained since the API NPAPI became obsolete. Support for Silverlight, Java, Unity, Gnome Shell Integration and multimedia NPAPI plugins was discontinued in Firefox 52, released in 2016.
