FF 24 on Linux. Activate Flash & Always Remember ?
I have multiple SuSE 11 linux boxes running ff 24. I have a need to have Flash always enabled on these boxes for training purposes. Does anyone know what file in the profile directory keeps this setting? All of the boxes are identical in configuration so I want to push the change out to all of them together. I didn't see anything in prefs.js that looked like it would maintain the Always Activate Flash. ( privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3prefs ) (?????? )This is being used in a closed environment so I can afford to run Flash on these boxes. I have alot of customizations on these boxes for ff and only want to change what I need.
Thanks, Steve

Are you talking about the settings on one computer, or a network?
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open the Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins. Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.
Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left click the icon. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select More Information. Now select Permissions. In the menu, Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.
Thanks Fred for answering, I have alot of linux boxes that I need to "tweak" by editing the file that controls this. to always allow flash to run. On ff24 w/ flash 11.2, you can only select either ask to activate or never activate. I may have found what I am looking for in /home/user/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys. this dir is empty if I do not explicitly allow and remember for a specific web page but then has a dir called #webpage when I click to always allow.
In prefs.js, you need to change the plugin.state.flash preference:
a value of 0 is never activate
a value of 1 is ask to activate
a value of 2 (what you want) is always activate

Firefox 24.8.1esr is old (was last security update back for 24 esr in December) as the current ESR has been based on 31.0 as current is 31.6.0esr
As for Flash well 11.2.202.441 and older is on blocklist while 11.2.202.442, 11.2.202.451 and the current 11.2.202.457 are not on blocklist. You likely have a older version of Flash if you do not have "Always Activate". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p830
