Flash Player is dead, killed by Adobe themselves. You can’t even download Flash player from Adobe anymore. Safari 14 removed support for Flash Player. After 12/31/2020 ALL browsers will begin dropping support for Flash Player. Firefox 85 will drop support for Flash Player. Adobe has gone so far as to say it will start blocking the playing of Flash Media after that date.


As for that website you say you can’t open, after 12/31/2020 no one will be able to open that site. It will be dead in the water. Developers were given three years warning by Adobe to update their code to support HTML5 ( the international standard that replaced Flash Player years ago). If their Flash media goes dead it will on them. Even adult sites have abandoned Flash or HTML5.
