Adobe stopped releasing Flash for Linux a while back.  IIRC the only
"supported" Flash on Linux is distributed as a part of Google Chrome
(and that's going away sometime soon too, Chrome on all platforms
will
no longer support Flash).

Don't know about C7 but I just yum updated my C6 system.
adobe-linux-x86_64 | 2.9 kB     00:00

It's still supported on C7:

$ yum list | grep flash
flash-plugin.x86_64    32.0.0.314-release     @adobe-linux-x86_64
...
I think you'll find the latest releases won't run on CentOS 7:

% ldd libflashplayer.so
./libflashplayer.so: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not
found (required by ./libflashplayer.so)

and hence Firefox won't load this version ...

The last version that runs on CentOS 7 is 32.0.0.270

See: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199058
Adobe have recently released Flash 32.0.0.330 - which works OK on CentOS
6/7
Thanks for lettings us know, I already gave up checking as they didn't
manage to fix it for so many weeks.

Seems they finally found out that upgrading their build hosts to the
latest greatest distribution was not the smartest idea :-)

Simon

Hi all --

Yes, I too just got an update on Flash 32.0.0.330

pushed to my system. Firefox seems to recognize it as a plugin and it works fine.

Trying to install the plugin provided by Adobe site wasn't successful for me.:-(
