Description Andrei Slavoiu 2019-06-17 10:45:25 UTC 
Flash works only when that checkbox is disabled


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the box
2. Go to a website that uses flash (for example https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/)

OBSERVED RESULT
Instead of the flash content I see the error message "Plugin could not be loaded". If I go back and uncheck it the flash content loads again.

EXPECTED RESULT

I've tested this and can confirm.

However flash is EOL (End of Life) as of December 31 this year.
Comment 2 Andrei Slavoiu 2023-05-30 12:32:34 UTC 
Turns out there was a problem with my flash plugin and when the checkbox was disabled it falled back to HTML5.
