Bug 1519434 Comment 1 Edit History

In Firefox 69, we will remove Firefox's:
* "Always Activate" Flash option in about:addons
*  "Remember this decision" from the Flash click-to-activate door hanger. We want prompt users every time a site wants to activate Flash in each browser session.

If Flash's click-to-activate setting was previously "Always Activate" or "Ask to Activate", it should now be "Ask to Activate".
If Flash's click-to-activate setting was previously "Never Activate", it should still be "Never Activate". However, if this is difficult to implement, we can reset everyone's Flash click-to-activate setting to "Ask to Activate".

    * But we want Firefox 69+ to remember sites that the user had checked "Remember this decision" in earlier Firefox versions. (Firefox only remembers the door hanger decision for 90 days, so these remembered site permissions will all phase out over 90 days.)
