Npapi - Adobe Flash player - Waterfox Classic #192

I write this post as some users still might need a combination of the old Flash Player for whatever reason and tried to find some solutions...

as for https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox/issues/1916 you might still have the understanding that installing an old flash player and using waterfox will work...

in the comments you read about "uninstalling and installing" of the old Flash Plugin and rebooting, that you might think it could be useful... instead on newer versions it doesn´t help at all.

To say it... at some point (i don´t know the version where it changed) Waterfox also integrated a point where "Shockwave Flash" isn´t listed in their supported versions any more. Perhaps others of you have further experience on this.

It still works for me on G3.2.5 (64-bit) but not on newer versions.

I still did not find any hint so far as i was searching for a solution but it might help others to get flash back to work again on some old machines, where it still should work (for whatever purpose)
