See Here for instructions on how to install Pipelight, and enable Flash Player. However, at some point, the developers decided to add support for Flash as well. Update: I now know of a third way to do this: Pipelight! Pipelight was originally a browser plugin meant to use a fork of WINE to run Microsoft Silverlight.

If you choose Chrome, you won't need Wine. Or, you could install Google Chrome, as it always has a recent version of Flash, even on Ubuntu. You'll need a Windows web browser (such as the Windows version of Firefox), with the Windows version of Flash Player. The first is to run the Windows version through Wine, a software emulation layer designed to make Windows software work on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems. However, there are still two ways of getting newer versions. Sadly, Adobe has dropped support for the GNU/Linux version of Flash Player (though security updates are still being provided). It works better than adobe-flashplugin in Firefox. In Ubuntu 16.04 and later browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from the default Ubuntu repositories allows one to use the Pepper Flash plugin from Chrome in Firefox and any other web browser supporting NPAPI plugins. For Chrome/Chromium users there is Pepper Flash plugin, but it's not supported by Firefox/Iceweasel/other browsers. Sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash # 16.04 and laterįlash plugin for Linux provided by Adobe stopped at version 11.2. Open the terminal and type: sudo apt-get update

Click the Other Software tab in the Software & Updates window, and put a check mark in the checkbox to the left of where it says: Canonical Partners.Ĭlick the Close button to close the Software & Updates window. To install the latest version of flash player search the Dash (in Ubuntu releases before 17.10) or the Show Applications dashboard (in Ubuntu 17.10 or later) for Software & Updates and open the Software & Updates window.

Flash player is completely dead for all operating systems as of 2021.
