Adobe flash not listed in opera beta install#

I can add Fox News to the list of news outlets that do not depend upon Flash, along with Dailymotion and YouTube. My top line about the nice folks at Adobe was an adaptation of another bug report I think in the Red Hat Bugzilla concerning liblightspark.so (computer file not a website), and I thought I'd add some humor from that joker running for Resident. I prefer whatever replaces it to be open source if Flash technology must continue. It uses the Ubuntu repository system, so directing questions to Ask Ubuntu or to the Linux Mint forums is appropriate.įirefox regularly declared the Adobe Flash plugin a security threat and it became a regular pain in the tush every time it was disabled. If I switch off the dead plugin I can watch MSNBC. I can watch CNN video, not CBSN News or ABC News. When always enabled, the Flash content area is blank. Once enabled, the Flash content area is blank.

When always ask, the site asks to enable the plugin.

When never enabled, the interactive Flash-powered site is asking for Adobe Flash. I can set the plugin to never enable, always ask, always enable. I click more, it identifies the file as liblightsparkplugin.so. Here is what I can do with the installed plugin: It identifies as Shockwave Flash 12.1 r720 (more.). Seeing that the 'Lightspark' source in the reference seems to have nothing to download, what do we have in 2016 to do Flash in Firefox? What file might I look in in my Profile that is holding this dead-end reference? I seem to have a 'registry' entry in my Firefox profile pointing to the missing file.Ī shot in the dark: I searched about:config for the file name. Find command did not find the file on my computer.

Adobe flash not listed in opera beta install#

'apt-get remove' didn't find it, Package Manager didn't find it, Software Center did not list it as either available to install or to indicate that it was installed. I attempted to uninstall and it does not exist. I may have this figured out why: After I installed it, Firefox knows of it, but perhaps the file disappeared. I am running Linux Mint 17.3 MATE 64-bit with Firefox 47.0. I blew away the out-of-date Flash plugin, and about a month or so ago, followed the instructions in this next reference, to replace it with gnash and liblightsparkplugin.so. < That line sounds familiar, I'm trying to place the Joker.

I guarantee you, there's nothing wrong down there, I guarantee. The nicest folks down at Adobe have seen fit to blow away Adobe Flash support for Linux.
