As we already know, for now we can only use Flash Player en Linux if we make use of Google Chrome as Mozilla you do not plan to include the Pepper corresponding within Firefox.
We can use free alternatives, as in the case of gnash y lights park, but unfortunately both applications are still not quite mature. We can also wait for most of the Video and Audio Streaming sites to adopt HTML5, but we better find a chair and sit down, because the process is going to take time.
Reading in Let's use Linux, friend Paul Castagnino proposes a simpler method if we want to continue using Firefox with Flash Player and it is truly ingenious. I bring them here.
What we will do is that Firefox use the plugin Flash embedded in Chrome which of course, we must have installed.
1.- We remove the plugins from Flash Player installed.
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-*
2.- We create the plugin folder within the configuration of Firefox:
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
3.- Through a symbolic link we put the plugin ChromeWithin Firefox:
ln -s /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
4.- We open Firefox and select Tools »Extensions and we disable Shockwave Flash.
Ready. Now if you want you can continue watching p0rn videos and soap operas in YouTube. 😀
LOL! Take that guys from Adobe 😀
Great contribution Elav!
You're welcome, actually all the credit goes to Pablo at UsemosLinux ..
Wiii p0rn ^ _ ^ luckily I didn't have to go back to the unnameable.
In which version of Chrome / Chromium is that plugin supposed to exist? I have looked at Chromium version 18 and the current stable version of Chrome and neither has this plugin.
In Mint the process to follow is easier. We just have to replace the libflashplayer.so file that is installed in our OS with the new version that we downloaded from the adobe website.
We download the file in tar.gz format, unzip the file in question, delete the previous one installed located in / opt / mint-flashplugin-11 /, copy the one we just unzipped, restart Firefox and that's it.
The only thing you are doing with that "trick" is creating a symbolic link to the chrome flashplayer that is exactly the same as the Firefox flashplayer.
That "trick" works because the plugin that chrome uses has the same architecture as Firefox plugins, when Adobe uses the Pepper architecture that "trick" will not work because Firefox cannot load libraries with architectures that are not implemented.
Sorry, I lost an «r» 😛
mmm ... I think the previous message did not go well: yes, I leave it again:

Exactly!
Indeed, when I change the internal structure or programming of the plugin as such ... it will not work 🙁
Internet is for p0rn 🙂

I agree with the girls in that anime, the guys go out to the disco to dance La Gasolina by Dadee Yankee and then see how many they get
Why not make a kind of wrapper to solve this issue similar to the crossover plugin?
very good and simple, but it forces you to have chrome installed ... surely someone will soon release an extension to solve this bullshit.
Actually you could download the .deb or .tar.gz of the latest FlashPlayer, decompress it and then copy the .so to the path indicated in the post
Little by little the wicked will disappear hehehehehe
I have used a Firefox extension called Flash Aid (https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/flash-aid/). The pity is that it can only be used on Debian or Ubuntu based systems.
Through a wizard, it uninstalls the Flash plugins that we have installed from repositories and lets us choose if we want to install the latest Adobe version (stable or beta), or the Google Chrome version (only for 32 bits). We also suffer from applying optional patches to the plugin to avoid high memory consumption or full-screen Flash problems.
Easy and for the whole family!!
I did not know this plugin, it would be necessary to try it (those who use Debian, Mint or Ubuntu) 😀
Thanks for the tip 🙂
That plugin was disabled by its creator. Mozilla censorship?
