To be clear, as soon as I go in private messaging with chatango, it asks me to confirm the local storage but it's impossible to authorize it. i don't have this problem with chrome, only with firefox and there is no problem to use chatango with firefox in a second machine of mine.

I think the software's settings should be in Control Panel no matter what the OS. Anyway, also try this. Open Firefox options > Privacy and Security > Content Blocking > change to Standard. Or click Manage Exceptions and try adding the site's name to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a software, chatango is a site which allows people to chat with each other. Regarding the content in "privacy and Security" , it's already on "Standard" and adding the site in "Manage Exceptions" didn't help either. To be clear, this problem is related to "Adobe Flash Player", Chatango needs "Adobe Flash Player" to work, i have to figure out how to "activate the local storage" in Flash Player because this is what i've been asked to do when i try to open Chatango, an error message appears telling me that "i have to activate the local storage to be able to use chatango" and for now i didn't manage to activate the local storage.

Probably then this your problem is in this, that chatango.com no longer uses the flash version, but only the HTML5 version, and if you use the old embed code somewhere, it will no longer work. And the fact that you can't change the settings of the flash player by opening the settings from contrlpanel is not true either. But of course You can always open them directly. Where? It depends on Your system, ie is it 32-bit (x86) or x64 system. It means You can find Your flash app in system32 or in SysWOW64, its name is FlashPlayerApp.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, they need only plugin and also Chrome uses mostly the same plugin, but its plugin has different name and different location. Not pepflashplayer32_32_0_0_142.dll and also not NPSWF32_32_0_0_142.dll but pepflashplayer.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehdibleu Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 So does anybody have an idea on how to solve this issue so i can access again to chantngo on Firefox ? i repeat that i don't have this problem on Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If there is at all something wrong or damaged, then it is Your firefox user profile. If it works on the same computer on other browsers, not possible anything other. If You really think, that the problem may be flash player plugin - reinstall it. But I don't think so because this chat don't use flash player at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1ave77 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 In FFs about:addons check the Plug-Ins section (left side). Usually Flash is disabled by default in latest versions. Needed a moment to check this since a friend had problems running browser games (always demanded to install flash although it was installed).

There is no problem with that, the plugin Shockwave flash is already activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, where I can see Your chatango chatbox, ie this chatbox about what You're talking all the time. I'm really interested to see, where You see there flash player or needs for flash player at all. I know it mostly well, because I also have it for testing purposes and just yesterday night checked what about You're speaking, but didn't find someting what need flash player at all. This is history, when flash was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is history, when flash was used. i'm telling you that chatango in firefox cannot be used without installing first Flash player and someone else above also confirmed that so why bother say the opposite when we already answered about that several times but you keep saying the opposite. you can simply test by yourself and you will see that you will not be able to use chatango in firefox unless Flash Player is installed.

I don't have any problem as I said already before and also currently is the site opened and the chat is currently opened etc. No problems, no flash. So, Goodbye! Live Demo is now removed.

mehdibleu Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 ok i found out the reason to all this mystery. After multiple research on the net, i found out what was causing the problem. In fact, you need to know that the flash player contains a sandbox which prevents some features to work as "saving files" or "running flash applications" and what people should know is that NPAPI Flash sandbox is enabled by default on Firefox 62 and later. So to be able to use some sites that use flah player correctly, you have to disable the sandbox. To disable the sandbox, you go to firefox adress bar and you type "about:config" then you search for this line "dom.ipc.plugins.sandbox-level.flash" , you will normally find it set to 3, you will have to set it to 0 and this way the sandbox will be disabled. So after disabling the sandbox, i was able to access to chatango successfully, so the problem is solved. i found the solution here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
