Some time ago I wanted to read the archives of the Platinum Grit webcomic, and was told that I needed the Adobe Shockwave plug-in to be able to open them. That plug-in does not exist for Firefox for Linux, so I installed Firefox for Windows with Wine, and then installed the plug-in, and then happily wasted a lot of time reading old comics.
I recently upgraded to Linux Mint 17.3, and decided to reinstall Firefox for Windows, but when I attempted to add the Adobe Shockwave plug-in, was presented with a window saying 'Activate Shockwave for Director葉his plug-in is vulnerable and should be updated' and when I checked the plug-in list, it said 'Shockwave for Director 12.2.0.162 and earlier, Windows (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection'.
My impression is that Adobe Shockplayer is an obsolete program, and that the constituency wishing to read old Platinum Grit comics is not large, so this may be one of those problems that will not be solved, but still: is there a web browser that accepts a plug-in for Adobe Shockplayer? (and if so, is it even wise to try to use it?) Or is there some other add-on or plug-in that can do that duty?
