Hello,

Thanks for the bug report.

Version 11.1.115.37 is very old, can you try out 11.1.115.69?

Using the same device (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 on Android 4.2) with Nightly (08/18) and Firefox Beta (24) I was able to reproduce this.

Can you test out the following two URLs and report back on your findings? 

I used http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/plugins/flash/test_swf_embed.html

as well as http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/plugins/flash/test_swf_object.html

Firefox for Android 23 is a ARMv7 apk. Flash is an ARMv7 apk. Firefox 24 is an Intel apk. We are not going to support running an ARMv7 binary inside an Intel apk. Other Intel based devices don't even allow installing Flash ex. Motorola Razr I.

We might want to mention that there is no support at all from Adobe or Mozilla for Flash and x86 based builds.
