Flash Player

How can I instal Flash Player ? I have read a previous Q&As on this subject but it still didn't work .

I know Adobe is discontinuing Flash in December 2020 so does apple have an equivalent player or am I left in limbo ? PS. When I did my last upgrade for Catalina my Flash Player stopped working . Andy.

There is no replacement for Flash. You either have it installed or you don't. As VikingOSX noted, you'll have to use Firefox or Chrome in order to continue using Flash.


But don't be surprised if all web browsers drop support for Flash at the end of this year. I doubt any of them will want to be responsible for continuing to allow the use of a plugin that will get no further security updates.
