# Firefox
## Enable use of flash player plugin
**WARNING**: You are creating a Firefox browser which can use **deprecated**, **unsafe** plugins like Flash or Java. Please keep in mind to only access safe webpages with it. **You have been warned!**
Links:
* [Superuser.com - How to circumvent to disablement of flash plugin](https://superuser.com/a/1617236/1446767)
1. Download and install an older version of Firefox, e.g. version 51
2. Install flash plugin
3. Create a separate user profile for this installation
4. Symlink `libflashplugin.so` to `<user-profile-dir>/plugins/`
5. Start Firefox with new profile like this: `</firefox-path>/firefox --profile <profile-path> --no-remote`
* Use `--no-remote` to create a new window in a new session
* Otherwise an already open Firefox would spawn a new window
