newbie help - flash player for firefox 45.4.0 esr
Posted: 12 Oct 2016, 19:15
please help
i have managed to install firefox 45.4.0 esr
which is without the normal flash player plugin
and apparently the normal flash player plugin
does not appear in the normal firefox plugins list
when searched for
so i followed the link to install flash player
from a bbc news article
and it came to this webpage
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
which offers flash player for linux
in these forms
yum
.tar.gz
.rpm
APT
i can guess that i could accept
the .tar.gz or the .rpm
but i do not know what to do with it
please help
i need the flash player
to view some animated bbc news articles
in the bbc news website
i can understand
is the idea that the flash player is being phased out ?
