Hello,

i can't play any flash animations since i installed chromium and tried to activate pepperflash.

On firefox nightly 53.0.a1 linux (xubuntu) now when i try to load a flash game or animation, i get a brown background with yellow text with a yellow cross telling me failed to load libpepperflashplayerplugin.so

i'd like to select the path to adobeflashplayer-plugin or gnash instead of pepper flash ... how is that possible ?

Note that there is a Shockwave Flash plugin 24.0.0.186 version for Linux from Adobe.

You need to create a symlink to the Flash plugin in a location where Firefox scans for plugins if Firefox doesn't find the plugin.

The freshplayer stuff is a wrapper to use the Pepper Flash Player Plugin in browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey as a workaround to have current branch of Flash Player since Firefox and SeaMonkey uses NPAPI Plugins and Adobe only supported NPAPI on Linux with the old 11.2 ESR branch before until the Dec 13 update with 24.0.0.186.

Chrome uses the Pepper Flash Player Plugin and no wrappers.

Hi james,

sorry but i'm not using chrome but chromium, and as you may know, pepper flash is not anymore bundled with chromium on linux. you can add it but you can also use adobe flash plugin, but for some reason i can't find adobe-flash-plugin on softwares from xubuntu
