Question

Allow button ? ? ?

Hi.

I have noticed for a long time now that the player pops up that small window with the "Allow" and "Deny" buttons for local storage as an overlay to what is being played or trying to be being played behind the small window box.

However, I am finding it ever increasingly difficult to get the Allow button to accept my mouse click on the button. Sometimes it takes several clicks and on occasions a lot more before it disappears?

Also, the slider for how much to allow to be downloaded / buffered, we have a choice of zero or allow all and increments in between, again I am fed up with having to move the slider to all the way right (Unrestricted) at every window opening of either Firefox or even IE8. Why does your program not intelligently remember that I presses it already just a few seconds ago, but when a web page opens another window I have to go through this hoop jumping exercise all over again?

And, Why do we at every up-date or download from Adobe have to Un-Check the "make Google chrome my default browser" or similar ? Why isn't this option a check to make it so, not have to constantly un-check it ?

    Seriously, No one from Adobe cares to comment on this? or offer any help? or even better look into this issue!

    Can someone from Adobe please answer this? or is it going to be ignored permanently.

    You do realize that by not answering it then I will keep coming back to ask Why there is no answer, which means it will keep being bumped!

    Thank you.

    Thanks for bumping the post.  I try to answer as much as possible but sometimes I'm just not able to catch up from a weekend or sick days

    Have you tried changing the Local Storage settings in your Flash Player control panel to "Allow sites to save information on this computer"?

    We have some security code in place (sometimes referred to as clickjacking code) that appears to be interfering with button/control clicks on certain systems.  What OS/browser are you running when this happens?  Is this a retina display mac running bootcamp?

    As for the installer and the opt out checkbox, please see this FAQ for details:
