I get a message saying that the page needs Adobe Flash which may slow Firefox and gives the option to allow it or not. The sooner Flash is removed the better. It is unreliable and insecure IMHO.

Using FF 57.0 64 bit on Linux Mint.

Hi Martin i am using Fire Fox 57.0.1 with win 10 on a desktop and magazine works but i had ti update flash(spit) to get it to work .Hope this helps Graham

Presumably the archive since the PM reader doesn't work through a browser (and stopped working on Win8.1 ages ago anyway).

I wonder if that is why I am no longer able to print archive magazines from my Mac. It was useful to be able take prints of an article into the workshop, particularly drawings, but I lost this feature some time ago.

Hi,

I can access the archive (ME + MEW) on my desktop using Windows 7 + Firefox.(Version 57.0.1 64-bit)

I had to activate Flash the first time I tried, there is about a 5-10 second delay before the cover is displayed but I can read the issues OK (Well I only tried the latest 2-3 of ME & MEW)

This is what I was told a few months ago:

Yes the DE's are hosted on different server to the main sites, also the DE's already support HTML5/older this is how they work on iPhones etc which do not support Flash. At the moment the desktop version will look for Flash and default to this, we are planning to switch to HTML5 as the default with a fail back to Flash if needed as not all our customers have support for HTML5 on their devices. We would also need to remake the older DE's for them to work over HTML5 as default, but this going to be done early next year.

I've been looking at replacing the software we use to make the DE's for a while now but so far I've not found one that creates HTML5 versions reliably or better then the app we use at the moment.

Have you tried a different Browser? They read fine for me using Chrome or Edge.
