I don't know how to update Adobe Flash Player in Xubuntu 15.04

I used to be able to play Youtube videos in Firefox. Now when I go to play a video there I get this update notice (see screenshot #25). Which when I click on it it takes me to this page (screenshot #26). The choices in the "Select version to download" dropdown on that page are:
YUM for Linux .tar.gz for other Linux .rpm for other Linux APT for Ubuntu 10.04 I took a shot at the APT and went to open it with the Ubuntu Software Center but when I did the Ubuntu Software Center said it wasn't there. I typed "adobe" in the terminal and it said 'Command not found.' How can I do the update? Thanks. |
I posted the following on a similar thread:

^ Thanks for the info! Although I wish Flash would just, well, die! There are a couple of instances where I still need to use it, and apparently I have been to lazy to figure out how to ugrade the d*mn thing properly on my own.
Again, thanks! HMW |
Gregg, here's how to update your Flash player plugin to the very newest version, so that Firefox will always activate it without asking you (if that's the option you want):

FWIW, your flash may indeed be updated. Firefox updates has set default to block known vulnerable Flash, and Adobe may or may not have pushed an update in the last day or two.
For a cleverly working PepperFlash within Firefox, see this: https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin I am using it and could not be happier, but a caveat is that you have to update it fairly often. Here is a blog post about it: http://steronius.blogspot.com/2014/1...ox-debian.html good luck. |
Gregg Bell,
Firefox has now been updated: http://www.rt.com/usa/273925-firefox...s-adobe-flash/ In Firefox look under Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, then set Shockwave Flash to either Always Activate or Ask to Activate. |
Gregg Bell,
Firefox has now been updated: http://www.rt.com/usa/273925-firefox...s-adobe-flash/ In Firefox look under Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, then set Shockwave Flash to either Always Activate or Ask to Activate. Try this first. Open Terminal and enter: Code:
sudo apt-get update You should see Flash referred to in the list of updates. |

Thanks everybody. It updated without me doing anything. So I've got it. Thing is, I thought it might be an update but there was no update there, so I figured it was something else. I really appreciate the help!
