Web Browser Error

Adobe Flash Is No Longer Supported

What This Means (In Plain English)

The website is trying to use a technology called Flash that no longer works in modern browsers. The website needs to be updated.

Low UrgencyThis is not urgent. Take your time with the fix.

Common Causes

  • An old website that was never updated beyond Flash
  • Trying to play an old Flash game or animation

How to Fix It — Step by Step

  1. 1

    Unfortunately, there is no way to use Flash content in modern browsers — it was retired in 2020.

  2. 2

    Look for an alternative version of the website that does not require Flash.

  3. 3

    If it is an old game or video, search for an HTML5 version of it.

  4. 4

    Contact the website owner and let them know their site needs updating.

  5. 5

    Some archived Flash content is available at flashpoint.archive.org.

How to Prevent This in the Future

There is nothing you need to do — Flash was retired for security reasons. Modern websites use different technology.
