Flash not working in Gnome 15.04

Asked by Anbu

Adobe flash is not working in firefox or Google chrome browser in my new Gnome install 15.04

I've done all the installs mentioned in this thread (ironically it was my thread during my first Ubuntu install!!)

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2261869

Basically installed adobe plugin and ubuntu restricted extras

But still its not working - firefox says adobe flash not installed. On google chrome, the website i'm trying plays the advertisement but after that no live tv (website: tsn.ca/tv)

How do i fix this?

I got this to work from an advise in ubuntuforums,org

Essentially installing pipelight and enable flash with it seems to have fixed it on firefox. On chrome, it still doesn't work - it seems like the DRM enabled video is intentionally blocked in the linux version of chrome.
