Hello all--
I kept getting messages that my old Flash Player 31 was obsolete so I went in search of an update.
I came across several references for getting flash plugin 32 that basically were the same as this page --
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on...
However, it seems the site --
|http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/ does NOT resolve. Does anyone have any insight into how to install Flash Player Plugin v 32 on CentOS 7? |

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).

This did indeed help. The Adobe repo appears in my update list. I install NPAPI version. All LOOKS good at that point from the gnome software app gpk-application. I look at what's been installed etc.
Then, as soon as I leave this environment, and get back into the Software app, flash is no longer installed! I wish I was joking about this but I've done this 3 times and I'm not going to do it again. :(
I see that some Adobe entries in Firefox's current blocklist.xml. But...what is going on here? Are we absoluting FORBIDDEN in any way from using Flash? Any insights?
Regards,
Hello again. All good now. I followed the instructions in
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on...
to the letter using yum from root, and all good now. I was missing the PGP key and thus no TOTAL install.

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

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 :-)

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.:-(
