Flash portable bypassing Protected Mode?

n6w36 mentioned the reason why flash portable doesn't work on any computer was because adobe added protected mode last year
https://portableapps.com/node/37978
and he mentioned the users can only disable it if they have admin access

but one thing I noticed is that protected mode setting doesn't affect opera 12 portable which came out this april. until I came across n6w36's solution, I was using opera all this time. having 2 browsers at the same time was a resource hog sure, but opera 12 portable was the only thing that could use flash at the time.

so this brings the question
what quality does opera 12 portable have that can bypass flash's protected mode? can we copy this ability to firefox portable somehow so we don't need to have admin access to use flash?
