Midori Web Browser

How to install flash

Asked by Afonso Silva

Since elementary OS Freya I am not able to install the flash plugin for midori. I used to run the following script (from http://howtoelementaryos.org/how-to-install-flash-for-midori-in-elementary-os) but now it seems that adobe does not let me download the flash plugin. Any thoughts about it?

clear &&
echo 'Installing Flash for Midori' &&
read -p 'Press Enter to continue, or abort by pressing CTRL+C' nothing &&
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins &&
wget https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.457/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz &&
tar -zxvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz libflashplayer.so &&
rm install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz &&
if [ $(getconf LONG_BIT) = '64' ]
then
 mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.32.so &&
 sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper:i386 libnss3:i386
else
 mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so &&
 sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
fi &&
nspluginwrapper -a -v -n -i

Replace

wget https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.457/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz &&

with

wget https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.468/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz &&

Adobe released a new version, so the old link does not work anymore.
