Flash Plugin is Installed But Flash Doesn't Work in Firefox

10:02 PM | , , , | 2 comments »

You have to install a flashplugin-nonfree but you still get a message in Firefox about installing the Adobe Flash Plugin when you want to show up a Flash from somewhere. It's strange! :)

This post will show you how to fix this problem. I have tested in Ubuntu Gutsy already. It's OK.


First you need to remove Flash plugin installed before.

sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
Then you download and install a proper debian package for your Ubuntu architecture.

    The link to the i386 deb package does n't exist now. You can navigate upto

    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree

    and then select the most recent package by sorting it based on date.
