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, >
