Scratch & Flash Player Compatability
Hey everyone,
Firefox has blocked all versions of Flash that came out before today, July 14th, 2015. Updating Flash to 18.0.0.209, which came out this morning, should fix it.
If you're using Firefox or Safari, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to update your Flash player. If you're using Chrome, no worries, your Flash player will update automatically. If you're using Internet Explorer, Adobe suggests running a Windows Update to get newest version of Flash.
Why did this happen? Firefox blocked older versions of the Flash player due to a security problem. Adobe, the company who makes Flash, has issued an update to fix the problem. Update and you'll be good to go.
Scratch On!

What if I use Internet Explorer?
Good question! I'll ask one of the developers. If you can access Scratch projects at the moment, you're probably good to go :]

Actually, today I've noticed that Scratch projects are loading slower than usual, but I'm still able to access them. I wonder if that has anything to do with this.

I first noticed this a day or two ago, I think it has been very annoying. I have fixed it!

Well, most people have multitple ways of browsing, my computer has Firefox and Safari, so it's probably not a huge deal.

Adobe recommends running a Windows Update if you're using Internet Explorer :]

I saw that on Firefox when I launched it… I thought it was just my computer that did not have the latest flash… I did not think everybody had the same!

I don't really use Firefox unless Chrome isn't working for some reason.
