Title: Kit kat broke Adobe Flash
Post by: ibolski on November 17, 2013, 08:22:30 AM

It appears kit kat has broken flash. Before, I could view amazon instant video through Firefox, but now known of the browsers (dolphin, Firefox, xscope)  work. They all say that flash player needs to be installed.

Flash is installed and it's been enabled on all three browsers.

He anyone gotten it to work?

But does it work with flash videos, such as with Amazon instant video? I can't get it to work under kit kat.

I couldn't get flash to work when running a ported Nexus 5 4.4 ROM on my Nexus 4, honestly haven't tried since updating my 7...

Puffin sort of works. Video comes up but it's slow and choppy. Under 4.3 and Firefox, it was smooth and worked perfectly.

Hopefully, they'll get it fixed in Firefox.
