Adobe Flash == Ask to Activate? Have you used a "pop up"?

Not confirmed for me.

`Adobe Flash` == `Ask to Activate`? Have you used a "pop up"? ![1](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2373486/25580472/8a37fc1c-2e81-11e7-90d0-3a74d1d5b0fe.png) __Edited:__ Version: 27.3.0 (64-bit) Ubuntu 16.04 Not confirmed for me.

I already activated flash, of course.
I clicked on it, nothing happens.
Regardless, if it is fullscreen or embedded.

Not only Flash:

Every JavaScript is allowed, if this was the question.

I've just tested this on Win7 with 27.3.0 x86, no issues. It runs the flash player with a control layer overlayed on top.

Maybe, if you use Linux Mint 18.1 (Ubuntu 16.04) and the x64-Version, this problem happens? :(

And on my system is the "adobe-flashplugin" package installed
From DL-Flash Player Ubuntu FlashPlayerUbuntu@adobe.com
Version 1:20170509.1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

For now I'll mark this as a Linux-specific issue then.

I see no flash at all on this page and html5 player works well for me on both win7 & linux.

There is no HTML5 player
There is only a flash player at the top of this site

Hm ... looks like this page design confused me. Then I've to say it works well on both win7 & linux (mint 17).

It works for me as well with Flash enabled.

How i can investigate, what is wrong with my browser setup?
what do you need?

@MartinX3 you might have better luck troubleshooting on the forum. Since this isn't a browser issue as far as we can tell, I'll be closing this as WFM.

Thank you for your help.

Found a solution.
The PaleMoon Browser Addon "Encrypted Web v5.1.5" is causing the trouble.
Disabling it let me watch the video.
Maybe there are some parts of the website which can't be access by https.
The addon is a palemoon fork of https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere.

Edit:
The palemoon fork from the palemoon website isn't needed anymore.
With Palemoon 27.4, I can use the original "HTTPS Everywhere v5.2.20" addon now.
Which is working perfectly.
Now I know, the Palemoon Addon Fork has bugs.

Edit0:
Now I see under "https://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/" the new note:
"HTTPS Everywhere
As Encrypted Web (NOTE: This extension has been abandoned and will not work on Pale Moon 27 or above)"
Will look how far I can use the original addon versions with the palemoon-tester-tool.
https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/moon-tester-tool/

Edit1:
In PaleMoon is no build-in compatiblity warning?

Thanks for the follow-up.

It was my pleasure, I hope it helps others, who maybe get the same problem.
