Check if flash enabled/Installed in FF version 59
Hi,
Am trying to figure out how to check if flash is enabled/installed in browser. This is the code am using
try {
hasFlash = Boolean(new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'));
}
catch(exception) {
hasFlash = ('undefined' != typeof navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash']);
}
It always end up in exception and the 'hasFlash' flag turns to true even if flash is not enabled.
Please advice

Hi,
According to your system details (to the right of your post) Shockwave Flash is enabled.
You can check (and if necessary, change) its settings :
3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Add-ons => Plugins.
To see if Flash is enabled on your system, got to Windows Control Panel => Flash.

I'm asking a solution to check if flash is enabled in browser programatically.
scenario: I've a swf embedded inside html page which is necessary for using application. So prior to login, I need to check and alert user to enable flash. My solution works for Chrome and other browsers. But not with latest FF.
