FYI. WontFix?
Status: WontFix (was: Untriaged)
Thanks for flagging, let's keep an eye on it.

At this point it's a WontFix.  This is a necessary step in the wind down of Flash Player and an important signal to developers that the technology is being phased out (i.e., there is a hard stop in Dec 2020 that we need to land into).

We still provide a reliable activation flow for users to activate Flash Player (the main change in 69 is that we only remember for the current session).
