  I have the Abode Global Settings page bookmarked and use it daily.

  Same here.  I don't use it daily, just after every update and new purchase of gear.  Or about once a week if neither of these happen.

  I use Maxthon 3 and play in it's own full screen mode.  I've never had an issue with it, the keyboard always works, no jumping through hoops with Pepper Flash and Flash doesn't automatically get updated so once you find a version that works well you can keep it.

  Thank you very much TS, looks like that's the way it is supposed work. It takes several minutes for the settings page to come up, very strange. I had thought Adobe Flash Player always worked just like Shockwave Flash, where you could right click & have immediate access to these settings. Wonder if the recent Flash update did this or am I missing something else.

  Oh well looks like I will be using Comodo Dragon for now, meter is more stable than PaleMoon for sure.

  Thanks to all, for your replies

  I just found out we have full access to the all the settings in Control Panel, the Flash Player Settings work fine from there & much quicker than the Adobe site.

  When I right click on "play now" & go to "global settings" I don't get the box anymore, it tries to take me the adobe site. What a screwed up mess.

  Any further advise??

  Do NOT right-click on any active button or control in the gameclient - that may bring up different options. place your mouse cursor in an 'inactive' region of the game window, THEN right-click to see your Flash version or access Global Settings.

  I run Win 7 64 bit on a full tower gamer that will run any game on the market flawlessly.

  With Chrome or Comodo Dragon, I get the settings box fine & I can see the version & even am able to go straight into Settings. But if I click on Global Settings it takes me to the Adobe site to make changes there. I have NO idea if this is the way it is supposed to work now or not. I'll use the global settings in the flash settings manager in Control Panel, a lot faster than waiting for Adobe's site.

  This all has nothing to do with flash at all, it's all because of what wgt did with this last update. I already had the new flash & a good meter in all browsers with either Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash.

  Best browser for the moment is Chrome but it is a cpu hog, with Comodo Dragon I get spikes of  3 to 5 % that will settle to 0 but with Chrome spikes are twice that & it never gets to 0. I don't like having to run the game client in full screen with the stupid looking bars on each side, I have a 16/9 screen. Also like to be able to view my notes while playing which I can pull up beside the Client in a window. If not for that I'd give Maxthon 3 a try, I have it installed but looks crap in a window, too much screen is taken up by address bar, space above it & task bar.

  Obviously wgt could NOT care less
