The Farmtown Flash Enabler Extension for browsers and Flash player are no longer required for Farm Town.

It's worth diisabling it especially if you have uninstalled Flash Player.

Open your browsers menu and go to the extensions section in that list.

This is what the Farmtown Flash Enabler looks like when it's enabled.
You need to click on that blue button to the right of it to disable it.
In Chrome when disabled the button turns grey.

The extension will be disabled, you will then see an option to remove it. Once removed that's it you are done!
