 should add Flash to an exception. (In short: https://www.fxsitecompat.com

 > I have a hard time following you. First: The bug you are alluding to
 landed in Firefox 50 and this is unrelated to anything we ship in ESR45.
 Second and more important: that change is not even active due to issues
 Mozilla found. See the updates on the site you linked to and
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1296004.
 You have already changed {{{plugin.state.flash}}} the way Mozilla is
 trying to change in FF50, but still unsuccessful, because of the reasons
 which also affect TBB.
