How to install Adobe Flash as an extension ( or a plug in) on my iMac.

Please, can someone give me steps to install ADOBE FLASH as an extension or a plug in on my IMAC.? i need it for my one and only favorite game on facebook, and I've installed it 3 times in Safari, i've done it also with CHROME,.Nothing worked. It just stopped working one day a few weeks ago.

I've gone into Safari Preferences, clicked Websites, and I saw a General list on the left. MY last entry said pop up windows. There should have been an entry under those called PLUG-INS. The PLUG-INS line was missing, thus no way to even get Adobe flash in there... unless it could be added under the General heading.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

NOT COOL.

You'll have to let Adobe know. Dropping Flash is not a new development, it has been known for years. As to why anyone has not yet made the transition away from Flash is a wonder to me. Your game developer will have to come up with a new format if they want users to continue playing their game.

Safari Version 14.0 removed support for Adobe Flash Player.

FWIW, some flash sites started recoding their games to HTML5 years ago. Adobe announced the EOL for flash 3 years ago. It's up to any websites still using flash to replace flash or cease to exist.
