The PPAPI Flash Player is for Chrome/Chromium and Opera browser.

Web browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey uses NPAPI Plugins.

Since you use Windows make sure you unselect any extras before downloading file.

fireflashupdate.sh is explicitly for Firefox, then NPAPI

Code: Select all

# Adobe Flash Player installer/updater for Mozilla Firefox.
wget -qO- https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/masterversion/masterversion.xml | grep -m1 "NPAPI_linux version" | tr , .

Back when Adobe wasn't updating the NPAPI version, only the PPAPI one, some one wrote a wrapper that let one use PPAPI in a Mozilla browser and it made it into Debian, but it doesn't have much point now that they update both versions in sync.

I manually download flash and install in the the folder: /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/.
Opera successfully detects it.

Valid solution is to drop flash player from your computer and let it die.

Firefox was also still using NPAPI Flash instead of PPAPI the last I heard...you can try installing our MX Linux deb that installs both NPAPI and PPAPI packages and set up Chromium compatibility; it works really well: (edit: fixed link) http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/non-free ... ashplugin/

The mx17 packages are Stretch compatible.

Don't bother with unmaintained deb packages for old/depreciated Flash plugin.
This script is just fine, and disable Flash in Firefox plugins ("or Always ask"):

Is it so much of an extra effort to tell us what dependency it says is not satisfiable? Jeesh! Why must we pry it out of you?

Of course somebody's gonna complain that's a cranky answer, but for Pete's sake, why make it so hard for someone to help you?

Hi,
I am a curmudgeon too, don't worry about that.
I will tell you which dependency is not satisfiable if you are so kind as to tell me which package should I download, there are several listed under that link.
FYI, I commented out the mxrepo from my sources, because I want to use exclusively the Debian repos, and I am now struggling with unsatisfied dependencies preventing me to complete a dist-upgrade. so I guess that I will have to purge those packages and re-install form the Debian repos (stable + backports).
Thank you for all the great work and prompt and consistent help.
