Flash will be dead and buried by 2021

Im surprised! (Hi to Moonchild, Darleks and Moonbat)
Firefox kills Flash - if it gets opened

My Firefox updates still kill Flash working on Palemoon
(Firefox - when started, writes creates its profile folder under ~/.mozilla/Firefox)
Its a nightmare :( :-(
It redirects - Puts shortcut in (soft link?)
Ive done this ~14 times this year - but Im still playing my game Miramagia

What works for me is
1) Not opening Firefox
2) If Firefox is opened - Then rename / delete local file ~/.mozilla - so it is recreated
3) Open Palemoon

When are you guys going to choose a new folder for the home for flash?

We have no control over where Flash is installed (it's installed in the system, not the browser)
If Firefox kills flash from the system or otherwise cripples NPAPI use system-wide, then that is a serious issue you should take up with Mozilla!
