How do I get FlashPlayer working in Chrome,  I went into settings and
imported Firefox setting,bookmarks,etc, Firefox is working fine with
Flashplayer.


As far as I can tell, flash player isn't required for Chrome.  I removed
flash-plugin-11.2.202.350-release.x86_64 and went to Adobe's site. The
test for shockwave player fails
(http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) but the test for flash itself
works (https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/), saying "You have
version 13,0,0,206 installed."

According to Adobe, Chrome for Linux has flash built in:

$ rpm -qa |grep chrome
google-chrome-stable-34.0.1847.132-1.x86_64

You are correct.  Chrome has a flashplayer builtin.  If one uses chrome://plugins as the URL and has the Adobe plugin installed, as I do, they would see something like this.

Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.2 r202

Note that I have the builtin player (libpepflashplayer.so) disabled at the moment since there is a problem when using that with mlb.com live games.

Hi Ed,
    Just as a side issue to this, how do you get chrome to provide what you have shown?
    I know chrome has flash built in, and the adobe installer installs the plugin in /usr/lib64, plus I have a link to the adobe plugin in /usr/lib because the upstream 64-bit Firefox wants its plugins in /usr/lib, what I can't account for is the 4th plugin.
    If I use chrome://plugins in the browser I get the following display (the following display is how the chrome output is represented in Thunderbird as a result of a copy and paste, not how it is displayed in chrome):
