Comment (by bugzilla):

 > *detection* being broken which is very likely due to the fix for #17207.
 Yes, and if you reread that mozbug carefully, you'll find out why you
 should add Flash to an exception. (In short: https://www.fxsitecompat.com
 /en-CA/docs/2016/navigator-plugins-and-navigator-mimetypes-no-longer-list-
 flash-when-it-s-click-to-activate)
 > The Flash Player itself is still working for me, e.g. on Adobe's test
 site.

 Where does it work for you???
 > Maybe file a different bug (although the description of your issue could
 be a bit more specific then)?
 You preferred to remove Flash from
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins/Firefox_Whitelist without testing instead
 of using NoScript for better CTP functionality, so your description in
 this ticket is specific enough for your issue.
