Note that Flash is very nearly end-of-life & most browsers are going to start actively blocking it over the next year. Browsers and operating systems that support Flash Player continue to decrease so Adobe strongly recommends immediately uninstalling Flash Player. Scroll down the list on the left until you find Adobe Flash select, then to the right, decide whether you want behaviour on, off or ask by default & for any specific sites.įull instructions at Adobe: Enable for Safari Then to make sure it's enabled in Safari, go to Preferences > Websites.

If Flash is legitimately needed for a video, the placeholder for the video will say that Flash is required usually quite simply, 'plugin missing' or similar, possibly with a 'jigsaw puzzle piece' icon.

I'd start by uninstalling Flash completely - very few web sites use it any more.
