flash plugin had worked by today.
I didn't update or install any applications.
but, unexpectedly, it won't work. it looked like the picture(attachment).
Message "Tap here to activate plugin" won't even appear.

uninstall the flash player and , message "A plugin is needed to display this content" appeared on the page re-opened.
next, terminate firefox and re-install flash player, flash work properly.
But terminate firefox and restart it, the area flash content was is filled gray and flash don't work and message "Tap here to activate plugin" won't even appear.
then terminate firefox and re-install flash player, flash work properly.

Sorry, I mistaked.
closing tab is ok. but...

browse a page which includes flash content, it is played correctly.
terminating (swipe to erase firefox from list of applications run recently) causes the problem.
browse same page again, the flash content won't be played.

flash player version is also 11.1.115.81

On Xpreia(SGP412 , Android 4.4) or Nexus7(Android 4.2) , I have the problem.

I don't have the problem on Webkit-based browsers(e.x. Sleipnir or angel browser). And I re-installed Flash player many times. So it may be a bug of Firefox or Gecko.

But I wonder why the problem occured unexpectedly. I didn't do about firefox or flash specially. I have just tryed to play a flash game.

The same day I faced the probem. I heard some users of firefox on PCs said that flash won't be played.
There is a connection with it?
