This should be old hat at this point. Flash is done on mobile. (Had it ever begun?)

  Anytime there was a post about firefox mobile on /r/reddit, folk came out of the woodwork saying they would never even consider using it until it supported flash. (Which, interestingly, it now does.) I have no fucking idea what people find attractive about mobile flash (maybe games?) but it certainly seems to be a thing.

      A massive percentage of the internet's video consumption (YouTube and related sites) is already served by HTML5.

        You are wrong. Html5 for Youtube is still an opt-in trial, unless you are on a platform without flash. As for related sites, while most I frequent seem to keep their files in .mp4 format rather than .flv the players are all flash based. Probably because it's easier to serve ads.

          Yes but mobile is a platform without flash, and is a large amount of youtube views. Not sure if you can opt in to flash youtube on Android.

    Restaurant sites. For Mobile Firefox our main test case for Flash is dairyqueen.com.

      Heh, that's a good point. Though most restaurant sites are so useless even on a computer that I don't bother visiting them -- I just check the hours/# on one of the review sites like Yelp. In recent times most local places I care about have put up Facebook pages with easy to find info.
