Adobe Connect add-in does not launch under MAC El-Capitan

Hi,

I have 3 users, all of them with MAC OSX El-Capitan 10.11.6

They used to work with adobe connect add-in under safari and firefox browser with no problem.

One of the user installed the latest updated for office 2016 for MAC Released on March 14, 2017 (the other 2 claimed they didn't install any update but probably it was done automatically).

Then a day after the update, they reported that Adobe Connect opens directly in the browser and they are prompted to install the add-in again, which they did, but it's still not launching.

(Though i'm not sure if the office update caused this).

There is an article in adobe blogs I asked them to follow :

http://blogs.adobe.com/connectsupport/add-in-not-working-even-after-getting-installed-on-mac-osx/

but it didn't work ...

I suggested to enable pop up windows in Safari and Mozilla firefox, to clear cache from the  browsers and try again.

Then to manually uninstall the add-in , reinstall the latest one.

Then again uninstall and install the previous one.

Unfortunately nothing helped , Adobe Connect add-in is no longer launching in the virtual session.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

    Despite searching everywhere for the answer I happened upon this Adobe Connect Test page.  Upon testing I found that the add-in was not installed, despite doing a direct install.  I clicked on the "install now" button and it now works.

    I'm going assume you have the other security features correct on Safari relative to opening in unsafe mode.  If not you'll find other posts about that, but this solved it for me.
