Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0

Steps to reproduce:

Updated browser to the latest version.
Went to use a website that still uses flash and the website is saying that flash is not installed.
Reinstalled flash player with different versions including the latest version and restarted computer with every install of flash.
Went to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ as per the instructions Adobe has posted on their website to troubleshoot.

Actual results:

Flash player (Shockwave Flash) is missing from about:addons
Going to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ nothing happens and no pop up message is shown for enabling flash.

Expected results:

Flash player should be shown in about:addons and going to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ should show the pop up to enable flash and latest version installed should be shown on the Adobe website.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Invalid as Flash support was intentionally removed from Firefox in 85 and all flash content will stop working in January 2021 (see Adobe announcement https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html).
