Security updates for 11.2 Flash Player for Linux?

When attempting to download an update for 11.2 Flash Player for Linux, I saw the note saying that there would be no new development, but security backfixes would continue to be released. I've seen the security warnings for months on my Linux install in Firefox (which is updated) but there does not seem to be a security patch that would stop these "Allow - Continue Blocking" warnings for Flash Player.
When can we expect these to be completed? Linux users may not comprise a large portion of your user base, but the alternatives are extremely expensive hardware and/or software if you want to use an Apple or Microsoft product.

I chose "Yum for Linux" and the file that was downloaded was:
adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
I see now that if I select the "rpm for Other Linux" it downloads the flash-player rpm complete with the version info, so perhaps the Yum version is a wrapper. I assumed that since Fedora (and Redhat/etc) uses yum, that I should download the YUM version... in order for it to take effect, I had to perform the following commands after downloading the above rpm:
sudo yum remove adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
sudo yum localinstall adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
sudo yum -y install flash-plugin
That allowed me to get the newer version of Flash player to show (and no longer receive the security warnings) but it seems if I had used the Other for Linux download that I wouldn't have had to take those extra steps. I guess we'll find out when the next security update to flash player is released.
Thanks,
-Tim

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning

    Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
    Any suggestion?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai 
    I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
    To begin, I would like to know some more information:
    Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
    How Do I Find My Model Number?
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Can you make copies successfully?
    Can you print from your computer?
    Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
    Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
    How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
    In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

  • Adobe flash player for Nokia N8-00

    Hi
    I'm looking for a adobe flash player for my new Nokia N8. Is there a website where I can find it?
    Thank you for your help.
    Best regards  :-)
    PoseidonZeus

    THIS IS THE GRAND ADVICE FOR NOKIA COMPANY:To get adobe flash player in Nokia N8 has become the considerable demand. Millions of Nokia N8 users are demanding adobe flash player. But Nokia has ignored this issue. Many websites cannot be opened only with the support of Flash lite 4. It's flop. Why does Nokia not consider about this ? In consequence, The nokia user's are lured towards android and Ios, which is not good for Nokia. Nokia must solve this in order to compete in the present market. I have been Nokia user for more than 10 years. But now, I see Nokia ignors the actual problem. Why did we buy Nokia ? Nokia must distribute adobe flash player. has Nokia company ever read the comments on Nokia discussion website /t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Download-adobe​-flash-player-available-for-nokia-N8/td-p/937591? If not then Nokia has no future. This is serious. Thank you.

  • Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

    The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
    It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines.  Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
    What I have tested
    WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
    Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
    Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
    The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Anand,
    If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers.  If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe.  Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
    Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

  • Flash Player for iPhone 4G

    I recently got my new iphone 4g , I have heard for years about Flash player for iphone but don't see anything yet.
    Can some one tell me if Adobe is going to release flash player for iphones, may be by end of this year ?

    Hi Silver 4545, I don't know who "they" are that you refer to, but you are misstaken. Advising anyone to do anything to their iphone or any other phone that is not permitted can damage their system and void their warranty. If that happens, the owner of the iphone or any other device must pay the price, not those that choose to circumvent their system!!!
    The Adobe Flash Forum is not for you to advertise on either, just a FYI.

  • Is there an Adobe Flash Player for other browsers for Mac?

    Please follow this link to see what i mean. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    The first two system options windows etc give an option for other browsers but the Mac option does not.
    Is there a way to get a *for other browsers* flash player for mac?

    The reason there aren't two versions of Flash Player for Mac is that there is no longer an "Internet Exploder" for Mac since 2004. Windows has two builds because IE requires ActiveX controls and thus, a completely different architecture. The Flash Player for Mac IS for all other browsers.

  • My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date.

    My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date. I tried to install a new flash player version "setup.exe" but it said the file cannot be opened because the application is not supported on MAC OS X, does anyone have same problem? please help.

  • Auto update flash player for standard user without notification

    Hello, I hope I don't ask an already answered question, I've searched around without finding precisely what I'm looking for, but if I've missed something please point me in the right direction.
    I'd like to know if there is a way for flash player to be automatically updated while a standard user is connected (no admin rights) and without any notifications.
    So far I configured  the mms.cfg file (in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash for a win7 64bit) with those settings:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    AutoUpdateInterval=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
    (the autoUpdateInterval=0 is for testing, I plan to put a 7days delay
    I plan to update all our clients with the latest version of flash player via sccm and add this file during the process.
    Then I hope that I won't have to push any other updates (until I guess version 11.5 or maybe even 12...)
    Will those settings will work as I intended?
    As we'll use 32 bits browsers do I need to put this file also in c$\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash ?
    If it wont work, is it doable?
    thanks!

    Hi ersatyle,
    Thanks for clarifying.
    will flash player  be automatically updated while a standard user is connected (no admin rights) and without any notifications.
    By pointing the Background Updater to an internal server, yes.
    Are those settings will work as I intended?
    The AutoUpdateInterval setting in the mms.cfg has no effect on the Background Updater. AutoUpdateInterval can only be used for the notification updater. If you're setting up background updates from an internal server, this property is best dropped from the mms.cfg to avoid confusion. The other settings will work as expected. Once you have your clients set up and tested, I also recommend dropping SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging, since this will reduce the size of the log file.
    As we'll use 32 bits browsers do I need to put the mms.cfg file also in c$\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, If it wont work, is it doable?
    There is only one location for the mms.cfg. The same file is used for 32-bit and 64-bit browsers. From the administration guide, page 22:
    mms.cfg file location:
    Assuming a default Windows installation, Flash Player looks for the mms.cfg file in the following system directories:
    •32-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
    •64-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
    Note: The %WINDIR% location represents the Windows system directory, such as C:\WINDOWS.
    I hope this answers your questions. Let us know if there's anything else.

  • Update flash player for adnroid

    Hello!

    Many sites say: "Your flash player is old, update it". But Adobe offers new player for Windows, Mac and Linux only...

    Flash Player for Android is no longer available. For more information, see here:
