Flash player safari12/28/2023 Even doing a full-system restore, from several months ago, from an external Time Machine backup drive, changed nothing in this regard. I can assure you, Eric, that I've long since been through all that palaver, and more, to absolutely no effect. In a case like this, though, if enough users complain to Apple using that URL, Apple might start taking some notice and do something about it - like checking the Safari code or informing Adobe that Flash might currently include an operational bug. It always becomes difficult for the poor old punter when constituent parties involved in browser errors of various kinds play the blame game. I strongly suspect that Apple's view will be that the fault will lie in Flash, not in Safari. Since the chance of any official Apple developer ever seeing this topic, here on this forum, is virtually zero, perhaps we should all attempt to report the issue to Apple via ? (without that question-mark, of course). Personally, I'd prefer to not use Flash, as it needs constant updating because of either bugs in its code or uncovered security loopholes, but certain sites that I visit daily insist on using Flash in preference to HTML5. Incidentally, I'm currently using the very latest edition of Flash (23.0.0.205), downloaded and installed just a couple of days ago. I've of course also configured the more-general setting of 'Enable plug-ins'. I find it intensely annoying to be constantly asked by the pop-up whether I wish to enable Flash for a specific site, when I've already set that and other specific sites to 'Allow' in the Security setting. So, I'm convinced myself that this is a Safari-Flash bug that's existed for quite some time and which either Apple or Adobe, or both, have failed to address. On my setup, it's been like that for many, many months, there having been many updates to Safari along the way. I'm using Safari 9.1.3 (latest version, for Mavericks), running under Mavericks 10.9.5.
