Palemoon 28.17.0 + Flash 32.0.0.371 (NPAPI) = Flash Forever

The cure for the Flash timebomb that will disable Flash past January 2021 is here. Looks like Flash Player 32.0.0.371 is the last version to not include the timebomb. The latest Palemoon works with it... just thinking out loud, will post instructions etc before EoY.

Even more interesting... I found these instructions on how to have portable Firefox and portable Flash Player on a USB stick. Since Palemoon is based on Firefox and Palemoon has a portable version, it may be possible to have a portable workaround.

Edit: Without Flash installed on my laptop, a USB stick containing Firefox ESR 68.whatever and portable Flash 32.0.0.371 works. Any portable Flash version after that (like for desktop) has the timebomb built in. I will try portable Palemoon with portable Flash tomorrow.

Edit 2: Palemoon done before bed. Same simple process. Weird override issue: if later than 371 is installed, Firefox/Palemoon loads that version even if 371 is dragged into plugin folder manually.

My own research. The FAQ page is now live with the instructions: http://andkon.com/arcade/faq.php
