vSphere 6.0 web client causing flash to crash in browsers

Hi,

Just curious has anyone else been experiencing the vSphere 6.0 web client causing Flash to crash in browsers?

I have noticed this started happening in both Chrome and Firefox.

I am assuming that perhaps the vSphere web client is not compatible with the most current flash update?

the vCenter server shows that it is up to date when i check for updates.

Using the virtual appliance with an external PSC.

Thank You.

The remedy posted by daphnissov​ is the only way to get it to work; Chrome updated flash and that broke the web client. I can confirm it is working when I downgraded just a tab back:

Thanks.

I am going to go back to using the legacy client for now, hopefully VMware releases an updated version of vCenter that can deal with the new version of flash.

Given that the updated version of flash fixes known security vulnerabilities which are being exploited out in the wild it seems to be risky to downgrade to a prior version of flash.

I see VMware has put out a KB article that they are aware of the issue and investigating a fix.

Damnit, I REALLY need to do a shared nothing vMotion on a new VM and it's not available from the old C# client.

Curses.

PLEASE can we have a working HTML 5 Client for 6.0?

Even worse, firing up the old vSphere client made me realise how much I miss it. It moves so much faster and the layout is what I learned VMware on.
