Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3198.0 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Change chrome://settings->Advanced->Content Settings->Flash to "Ask First". 2. Try opening any .swf URL in the browser. 3. The .swf file gets downloaded. What is the expected behavior? The user should be asked if Flash Player can be used to run the .swf file. What went wrong? In Chrome 60, the correct way to run a .swf is to enable "Allow site to use Flash" but disable "Ask First" in chrome://settings->Advanced->Content Settings->Flash. However, with Chrome 62, which implements the change in https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap#TOC-Unify-Flash-Settings-Target:-Chrome-62---Oct-2017- the "Allow site to use Flash" setting has been removed. This means that the user no longer has a way to enable Flash Player for .swf files in the address bar. Did this work before? Yes Chrome 60 (probably -- didn't test Chrome 61) Chrome version: 62.0.3198.0 Channel: dev OS Version: 6.2 (Windows 8) Flash Version: unknown

Able to reproduce this issue on Windows-10 using chrome latest stable #61.0.3163.79. I have tested this issue using the sample file http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/SWF/zeldaADPCM2bit.swf, This issue is reproducible on Firefox as well. Considering the above issue is duplicate of 700274, merging in to it. Feel free to undupe if it's a different issue. Note: For more information please read comment #6 of issue 700274 . Thanks!

I think this is a different issue, because it worked fine in Chrome 60, whereas issue 700274 reported failure in Chrome 54. Also, differently from comment #6, Firefox does NOT have this problem. How do I undupe this issue?

FYI This issue 761679 is a dup of issue 767342 per the OP. 761679 was merged into issue 700274 but 767342 was not.

I want to enable adobe flash on all websites when using Google chrome, but this option is now gone. Please fix this. Not site by site, but all websites, on Windows 10 - else I am switching to edge or firefox or whatever works. |
