Furthermore, due to security vulnerabilities associated with running Flash, Adobe no longer supports Flash as of December 31, 2020, and is taking steps to block Flash-based apps from running altogether. This means that after these dates, Flex and Silverlight apps can no longer access any content and/or services from ArcGIS Online.

The native win32 app will need to have a few localized strings: we don't need to compile these in.Flash and Silverlight applications can no longer access ArcGIS Online content and services DescriptionĮsri is removing security policy files from ArcGIS Online that are used by the ArcGIS API for Flex on January 26, 2021, and for the ArcGIS API for Silverlight on October 12, 2021. So it will be necessary to have a separate win32 app which communicates with Firefox and shows the UI. We cannot effectively show UI in the Firefox process because the main thread is hung and spinning a nested event loop will cause problems. We will continue to automatically kill plugins after a longer timeout, the current 45 seconds or even longer to 60 seconds. When a plugin stops responding for a short amount of time (5 seconds?) we will overlay the normal browser UI with a dialog which shows which plugin is not responding and allows the user to kill that plugin. This project is currently scoped to Windows only. This feature will improve the user experience of a plugin not responding by showing UI which allows the user to see that it is the plugin (not Firefox) which is broken, and allowing the user to kill the plugin right away if they don't want to wait.

During this time Firefox appears to be locked and doesn't respond. Firefox waits a preset amount of time (45 seconds) and then kills the plugin.
