Adobe's page says it now has a secure flash player to upgrade to but I get the msg that Ubuntu won't support it.

HOW CAN I WATCH VIDEOS? Is there another player?

  • *"HOW CAN I WATCH VIDEOS? Is there another player?"* Yes HTML5 supports video playback natively in current browsers and the WebM format is the best solution currently for Linux users, websites just need to implement it. – LiveWireBT Jul 17 '15 at 05:40

Ubuntu does support flash (using flashplugin-installer from the repos)

You should be able to update/install it using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

or, it and other software should also be updated if you use:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The updated version is currently 11.2.202.491, which should fix the security issues and firefox blocking it.

  • This won't help until an update is released. – Thomas Ward Jul 17 '15 at 01:48
  • @ThomasW. The current version for Linux is 11.2.202.491, which the latest Firefox thinks is ok to allow to run (on 14.04 atleast). It does block the 481 version though. – Wilf Jul 17 '15 at 11:03
  • That's mostly because an update was recently released yesterday. Read [this](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/FirefoxAndAdobeFlashNPAPI) – Thomas Ward Jul 17 '15 at 11:47
