I didn't even know I had the problem. I use the freshplugin solution described in response 1 at this link for flash. https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/10217/sticky-how-do-i-install-adobe-flash-on-fedora/ I never see complaints about missing the latest version, but it also didn't use the latest version when I installed it (looking in about:plugins). As soon as I used your solution, it showed that it picked up the latest version. That said, I don't think I actually need flash that much anymore (a good thing, given its security history). The videos I view on the web seem to be webm or mp4. And next year, when mpg is completely off patent, maybe that will become the defacto standard for low quality web video, further sidelining flash. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
