The "Always Activate" choice has been removed and only "Ask to Activate" is available for the current session (i.e. is not remembered).

See the Release Notes.

You could send feedback to Mozilla and tell them it was very premature to disable the "Always Activate" option now, instead of at the end of 2020 (and why) :

It's almost the "End of Life" for Flash - even Adobe will stop supporting it. Most sites already use e.g. HTML5.

For more information, see these search results and also these ......

Just like any other site that still uses Flash - you should be asked to enable/allow Flash for that session.

Firefox take away Java and now Adobe flasher.

The only browser that still supports Java is IE (Internet Explorer) ....

As for Flash : please read what's been posted before (Adobe themselves will stop supporting Flash).

what else Firefox going take away from us?

Please, don't blame Firefox - sites that still use Flash will have to switch to e.g. HTML5 (or complain to Adobe .... ).

But for now (till the end of next year) you will still be able to play your Pogo games; you'll just have to enable/allow Flash for each session.

You can consider to switch to Firefox 68 ESR to get full support for Flash a bit longer.

I run my own weather website - www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk - and the Flash content is useful. I'm frustrated that Firefox have decided they know better than me and won't allow me to permanently enable Flash on my own website. Please reconsider and allow exceptions for nominated websites.

I understand, but it a pain to click accepted, every time, I play a game on Pogo. The adobe Flasher player is going to expire in 2020.

And that goes for everybody on this little planet - as mentioned before : sites that still use Flash will just have to switch to something like HTML5.

Adobe already announced the "end-of-life" for Flash back in 2017, so everybody had (and still has) ample time to do what needs to be done.

For now we'll just have to put up with having to enable/allow Flash for each session (and that goes for all browser, as far as I know) - but there are worse things in life, eh ?

Users like you and I don't have to do anything - it's the sites that now still use Flash that will have to switch to something like HTML5.

Don't you worry - everything will be alright by the end of next year; just you wait and see.

I hope so. For Pogo sake.

           Thank you.

Note that it is HTML5 with the number 5 and not with a 'S' as last character.

The HTML5 media player is builtin in Firefox.

Pogo used in the past Java for a lot of games and then apparently switched to Flash when browsers stopped supporting the Java applet and now Flash is about to go as well, so they will (or actually should) have switched to other ways to code their games.

There are lots of other options a website can use instead of Flash for running games. This includes HTML5 (canvas) and WebAssembly (WASM) and WebGL, so there are a lot of alternatives available that all use builtin browser means.
