Flash or substitute for iceweasel in Debian 8 MATE
Recently installed Debian 8.2 MATE. All updated and configured with my preferred apps, and all working except the ability to view video on some sites that require flash (such as http://www.oregonlive.com/#/0). Software sources are all jesse/stable. Any clear, step-by-step guidance that works or reference to same? Thanks, in advance.

Does this work for Debian 8?

Well, yes (I imagine). I neglected to say that I prefer not to use non-free or contrib sources. Sorry. I may have to use Chromium, but I would like to stay with iceweasel.

If you use Chromium you won't get Pepperflash without the contrib repository either.
|
Yes. Thanks.
|
Not sure if the 'contrib' repo is free either.

Yup, no nonfree sources = no flash, plain and simple.
If you do enable non-free for flash, I suggest using freshplugin instead of flash, it's a wrapper that allows the pepperflash plugin to work with Firefox/Iceweasel. In my experience, it's to the point that it works better than native flash on Debian. |
