Flash Player Mac Catalina
Since updating to macOS Catalina, Flash is unable to be enabled on a per site setting in Edge Dev. I'm running Edge Dev version 79.0.294.1. It seems that macOS is blocking Flash within Edge Dev due to security issues (see attached photo). This isn't an issue in Chrome. I have this issue on two o. Mac OS X, version 10.3 and earlier: uninstallflashplayerosx10.2.dmg (1.3 MB) (updated 05/27/08) Choose Window Downloads to view the downloaded uninstaller. Save the uninstaller file in a convenient location. Open Safari, and choose Safari Preferences. Click the Websites tab and scroll down to the Plug-ins section. Locate the Adobe Flash Player entry. Click the checkbox to enable Flash Player. Many of the most prevalent Mac malware right now arrive on your Mac via a fake Flash Player download. Read more about the threat of viruses and malware on the Mac and how to protect yourself here. I've read that as of MacOS Catalina, Adobe Flash is neither supported nor required. Safari uses some other newer technology instead. Further, I believe as of 2020, Adobe will no longer offer Flash to anybody. Personally, I prepared for MacOS Catalina by removing Flash while I still had MacOS Mojave installed.

Most older Adobe apps were created using 32-bit architecture and do not work in Catalina. We have no plans to update apps that we no longer support or develop. The following table lists some common 32-bit Adobe apps that are not compatible with Catalina. (It is not a comprehensive list of all older 32-bit Adobe apps.)
| Adobe Product | Status and alternatives |
| Creative Cloud apps – 2018 release and earlier | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest release of Creative Cloud apps. |
| Adobe Captivate | Update scheduled end of 2019 |
| Creative Suite apps | No updates planned. We recommend that you upgrade to Creative Cloud. |
| Fuse | No updates planned. Find free characters on Mixamo. |
| Adobe Presenter Video Express | No updates planned. We recommend moving to Adobe Captivate. |
| SpeedGrade | No updates planned. Certain features have been integrated into Premiere Pro, which is 64-bit compliant. |
Uninstall 32-bit apps before upgrading to Catalina
Before you upgrade to Catalina, we recommend that you uninstall your 32-bit Adobe apps. Older uninstallers are also 32-bit apps and don't work in Catalina.
If you already upgraded to Catalina, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall older versions of Creative Cloud apps.
Tricare dental copay. If you've kept Acrobat DC or Creative Cloud apps up to date, they are already 64-bit compliant.
You can update your apps using the Creative Cloud desktop app. See how to update your apps to the latest versions.
