I need to disable Flash for a test case where the user doesn't have Flash installed in Chrome.
Before updating, it worked fine with this option --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash.
But now it doesn't work.
How do I disable Flash?
Do the following on your Google Chrome, to disable Flash, or allow it for specific domains:
Option 1:
Navigate to chrome://settings/content and select the option you want in the Flash section.
Option 2:
Chrome Settings > Click Show advanced options... > Under Privacy click Content Settings... > See the Flash section.
There is an easy way.
Go to the url you want to block flash for
Click on icon "i" in front of the url
Change the flash to "Always block for this site"
I discovered something else that appears to disable Flash: Navigate to
chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
and set the flag that is highlighted (for "Prefer HTML over Flash") to "Enabled"
I have just done this and tested my computer on Do I Leak- and it reports that Flash is disabled
Sadly they removed interaction with plugins like that in chrome 57.
With web browsers being among the most frequently used pieces of
software out there, it's little wonder that there is so much concern
about security surrounding them. Browser plugins can be a major
security worry, and with Chrome 57 Google has taken the strange
decision to block users from disabling them or changing their
settings.
You can still get at the settings by navigating to: chrome://settings/content
Example:
Alternatively you can get there by visiting:
Chrome Settings > Show advanced options... > Content Settings > Flash

I have been having a very odd problem in all Salesforce orgs, but only when using Chrome.
If I go to Setup, and click on a "classic" setup link, like "users", instead of opening it in the iframe within lightning, it attempts to open it in a new browser tab. The page renders, but none of the links or javascript do anything.
I have seen advice that says to avoid a plugin called "Ghostery" but I am not using that, and have turned off other browser extensions but nothing works. This is not happening for anyone else I know using chrome and salesforce, which leads me to believe it is some Chrome configuration setting, but I don't know what to look for.
I made a button for a PDF download that is working well in Chrome but it doesn´t open in Mozilla.
This is the code I used:
<a target="_blank" href="http://gerster.com/docs/posamenten_neuheiten_2014_2.pdf">Jetzt PDF-Katalog herunterladen</a>
What could be wrong?
Note: No error is showing up.
Q Using window.open or "target=" such as blank it doesn´t open in ### Browser
What could be wrong?
It is up to each user to download or permit binary.PDF running in a browser viewport after download, this is especially true after download fron any non trusted site.
OOB many browsers assume they can sandbox the PDF download and then allow as default action review of the PDF file. Chromeium based browsers like Edge may be more inclined to use that before the user improves their security.
So the 1st task for a user should be to switch off Edge auto viewing of PDFs and switch to a more secure setting.
In that case Edge / Chrome and other browsers will NOT auto run the downloaded PDF but ask the user if they wish to View after Download or simply Download.
One of the possible values of that attribute is _blank, which tells the browser to open a new window (or tab, if that’s the user’s preference) when that link is clicked.
This used to be “invalid” in HTML
see A Bad Reason: The link is to a PDF
If you are going to do it, not only do you need the target attribute for the functionality, you need to rel attribute for security.
So do not open yourserver to security issues blacklist or pop-up blocking see https://mathiasbynens.github.io/rel-noopener/
Don’t use target=_blank (or any other target that opens a new navigation context), especially for links in user-generated content, unless you have a good reason
I am using HTML5 canvas, for a facial detection program. Every time I open the page, Chrome asks me if I want to allow access to my cam. I want to allow it and have Chrome remember so I don't have to keep confirming the prompt. I've already seen this link, but it doesn't work for me.
Yes, when Chrome asks you to allow the web app to use camera and microphone. The user must click in the options drop down menu and select "Always allow this site to use this microphone and this camera" instead of clicking on Allow or Deny buttons.
I am trying to get the Privacy Settings Tab to show in our flash/flex4 video chat application we are building. I have 2 systems with latest Flash installed (currently 11.1.102.62). However, the player always shows this (privacy popup question) instead of this (privacy settings tab) when loading the app. The reason i want the settings tab to show is because i need the end user to easily check the "remember" box.
I have tried to call Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY); before as well as after the getCamera/getMicrophone calls but all that happens is we get 2 popups instead of 1. and still no "remember" option. Actually it doesnt show the privacy tab at all!
Searched tons of forums but have come up empty. I have also searched the adobe docs but all I find is a paragraph stating "if your computer or device doesn't support audio or video recording using Flash Player, you don't need to allow or deny access, and this panel doesn't appear". Which is hardly true since one of the systems we are testing with is a new Macbook Air running latest OSX.
Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening and how to display the "Privacy Settings" and not the "Privacy pop-up question"?
It seems to be a bug in the current Flash player version. The popup freezes sometimes too.
I've educated users of my application to pre-set their settings.
I have a chrome extentions to record and upload sound. I embedding some flash content in an iframe to that extention. The flash part is requesting access to the allow the michrophone first. If I open in browser firefox and chrome, it's work proferly. But if open in chrome extentions, allow button is disabled or can't be clicked.
are there any way to fix this?
Thanks......
There are security restrictions embedding flash inside a chrome-extension:// URL, which behaves much like a sandboxed file:// environment. Perhaps you're running into one.
Here are some bug links for you:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=42796
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58909
A potential workaround is to have an iframe point to an HTTP url with the flash content. You can also make an exception in the flash control panel, but that's per machine and probably not what you want.
