Comment (by Richard):
Unfortunately Firefox has significantly broken its Flash support in recent
releases. The Firefox devs (effectively) marked this as a 'wontfix' even
before the announcement of an EOL date for Flash Player, so the chances of
them fixing it are pretty much zero I'm afraid.
For now other browsers (Chrome, Safari, IE/Edge) still retain working
Flash support and will run P2 happily. I'm also working on a version of P2
that will run on the desktop rather than in-browser, which should
hopefully be ready in a month or two.
Flash support in Windows and Linux Firefox seems to now be so epically
broken that I don't think it would be worth trying to reverse-engineer the
issues and develop workarounds - it's a more worthwhile use of my time to
get P2 running on the desktop. But I'll leave this open on the off-chance
(probably about 0.1%) that someone else wants to tackle it!
