My Flash is always disabled

How do I permanently "allow" the Flash Player to run?

Each of my browsers show it "disabled".  When I change it to "allow", it does not stay set that way. I have to change it everytime I restart the browser. 

Please can you help?

    This is something controlled by the browser vendors, not Adobe.  A this time all browser vendors have removed the 'Always Allow' option and force end-users to enable/allow Flash for each browsing session.

    Yes, it's disabled as a security measure. I think the message the browsers want to convey is, "do you really, really need Adobe Flash Player?"  They would prefer that you NOT use it.

    This is designed to be annoying, and cannot be turned off. It is to encourage you to find an alternative to using sites with Flash, before it is turned off completely at the end of this year.
