Adobe Flash- Always Enable in Sierra?

[jared_f]

Hi All!

In Sierra anytime a user needs to use Flash in Safari it will pop up an error and the error must be clicked to "ok" flash for that webpage. I am not looking forward to having request to install Flash on a system when it is really there. Does anybody know of a way to disable this. I was thinking about writing a script because I cannot find it anywhere in Safari preferences of system preferences. Also, downloaded PDF's are opening in the Web Browser. . . not purview. Does anybody know how to fix that also?

Thanks,
Jared

This seems to be more of a Safari 10.0 thing, I'm on El Capitan and same thing. I've also already started to see that....so I'm looking for answers too.

@boberito I am going to look into maybe copying Safari over from El Capitan and putting it on Sierra and see if that "fixes" the problem. I don't think Sierra will allow me but, it is worth a try. I am thinking about just installing Chrome on machines too now.

Copying Safari.app from El Capitan to Sierra will not change the configuration, which is set in com.apple.Safari.plist in an account's ~/Library/Preferences folder. You'd want to create a configuration profile to set the plug-in settings how you want it. I'm still new at it, but it's doable. See this post by @bvrooman for example.
