A different Adobe Flash Player EOL inquiry
I run Firefox, Edge, and IE (rarely) on my laptop. Only Firefox requires Adobe Flash Player because Windows products have a flash player built in to the application. Because Adobe Flash Player EOL is coming up, have Mozilla developers created a work-around so that users can see content after Dec 2020? Sorry if I am unaware of a fix already in place. Thank you.

I really doubt it. IMHO Microsoft also will remove the ability to run Adobe Flash in Edge. Edge users will no longer have any ability to enable or run Flash - MS really have nothing to say about it, since they're using the Chromium engine.

No, we're finishing support with the end of this year..
I apologize, I'm not sure I understand your response.
Does that mean that Firefox users will not be able to see any content that requires Flash Player after Dec 2020?
Correct. I don't know any browser that will support Flash Player in 2021.
Mozilla and Adobe will continue to support the Flash plugin until 2020. For more information, see the Plugin Roadmap for Firefox.
Thank you for your reply.
The only follow-on question I have is regarding your comment about any browser supporting Flash Player in 2021.
However, MS Edge has always stated that Flash Player is not required because of embedded ability to play the content using Edge. Are you aware if Firefox will embed similar technology to play content before Jan 2021 that would otherwise require Flash Player?
Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
