User Reviews

Users report that the Flash Video Player for Facebook™ add-on helps improve video playback and game functionality on Facebook for some games, which would otherwise have blacked out videos. However, its performance is inconsistent and only partially effective, as many games still fail to work with this add-on. While some appreciate the partial success, several users point out that it doesn't work reliably across all content, limiting its overall usefulness.

Pros

Helps run/play some Facebook games that otherwise have blacked out videos.
Provides partial functionality where many games do not work at all.
Improves video playback compared to no functionality.

Cons

Does not work consistently across all Facebook games.
Some games still won't run with either HTML5 or Flash video player on Firefox.
Limited effectiveness, only helps a subset of games out of many tested.

Is Flash Video Player for Facebook™ Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Flash Video Player for Facebook™ requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
