Flash settings won't save in Firefox until I run it as Administrator

Hello,

Flash (Latest version, 32.0.0.142) don't save any settings when I run Firefox (65.0.2 64-bits) unless I run it on administrator, which is saving without issue.

How do I resolve this? OS: Windows 10.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: It also work with IE without admin. It's just with Firefox without admin that happen.

    This appears to be the known bug in 64-bit Firefox

    The alternative is to use 32-bit Firefox, or a different browser until Mozilla fixes the bug in Firefox 66/67.  According to Firefox Release Calendar - MozillaWiki , Firefox 66 is scheduled for release on March 19.  If you're not adverse to running beta versions, Beta 66 is available for download. You can download that & see if it resolves your issue.

    Hello, maria_,

    Thank you very much for this answer. So, this is a Firefox related bug, so I just have to wait for a stable version of Firefox 66.

    I'll try the beta version and see if the issue happen again, and I'll reply here to tell you if it worked.

    Thanks again and good day.

    Edit: It worked! I'll keep the beta until the March 19 stable release is out.
