Adobe Flash Player 11.7

adripillo · Apr 10, 2013

Hello, I am trying to see some videos for my work and I can't. It says I need to install the latest version of flash player. I looked on the version in the ports and seems that the version there is 11.2 and on the adobe website it is 11.7. Does anyone know how I can get and install the latest version? Thanks.

Can you watch other Flash movies? There shouldn't be that much difference between 11.2 and 11.7 so my first guess is that your browser doesn't "see" the Flash player at all.

I can not see the movies on any website, all websites that play movies like YouTube tell me the same.

Then I suspect that indeed your browser doesn't see the Flash player. Which browser do you use and what does about:plugins (*) tell you?

Ad (*): That address works in Opera, but if I'm not mistaken Firefox supports it too.

I'm using Firefox and Chromium too. In Firefox got this with about:plugins

Also please remember, that Flash Player 11.2 is the last supported Flash Player version for Linux. Adobe will continue to provide security updates, but there will not be update to version 11.7. On April 9, Adobe has released security updates for Flash. These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. Fixed version; 11.2.202.280.

Best regards.
