Flash content isn’t showing up on Pale Moon

Post by Tagal1944 » 2025-09-25, 07:47

Hi, I'm having trouble loading Flash content in Pale Moon. I have Flash Player 32.0.0.371 NPAPI installed with no timebomb, and it’s always activated in the add-ons manager. Still, Flash content won’t show up. Not sure if I’m missing something—any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Some sites these days force the use of Ruffle or similar alternative Flash renderers since other browsers no longer support NPAPI plugins. You haven't provided any information but this is a possibility and there's other threads that discuss this.
