Flash player on Firefox in Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite?

I'm testing Flash Player 15.0 r0 (15.0.0.152) on Firefox (32.0.2) in Mac public beta OS 10.10 (Yosemite)

about:addons in Flash shows Flash Player.plugin as properly installed for MIME application/x-shockwave-flash (.swf) and "Always Active"

Yet so far as I can see, Flash doesn't start at all.  Is this a known issue? 

(Of course, Flash Player installer only claims support through OS 10.9.  You've got another month before 10.10 supposedly ships.  Still: will we be on top of this?)  [It does (mostly) work in Safari, and working fine on Chrome.]

    hello,


    I have OS X 10.10.0_14A36c1 preivew and have installed 15.0.0.152 and Firefox 32.0.2 and am not having an issue viewing Flash content.

    Using Firefox, please navigate to Flash Player Help.  Click the yellow Check Now button.  It should detect the version of Flash Player installed and displaying in the ensuing widget.  There is also a Flash tree animation at the bottom of the page.  I have also tested a few other popular sites that contain Flash content and was able to view the Flash video.


    Please provide URLs to Flash content that is not displaying as expected.

    Hello,


    We are currently testing Flash Player on OS X 10.10 developer preview, and we expect to officially support it once it is officially released. I'm not familiar with all of the issues encountered during testing (another group is handling all that), however, I'm happy to investigate this further.  Which developer preview build are you using, so that I can test with the same version?

      Interesting: I was using build 14A361p instead of your 14A36c1.  I believe 14A36c1 is the latest *public* beta and 14A361p is the latest *developer* beta, both dating from Sept 16?

      Anyway, on my machine, your Flash Player Help does indeed detect Flash Player as installed, but the animation at the bottom does *not* appear.

      But hold tight, I'm loading 14A36c1 on a spare machine, to see if that makes any difference!
