This a recipe for enabling Flash on your PC or Mac in 2022. The main component here is Waterfox Classic browser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfox - an open source fork of Firefox supporting both legacy (like Flash) and modern (like OpenSeadragon) technologies. You will need admin rights on your computer to perform the installation.
