Hi guys, I have a Samsung android tablet and I used to use adobe flashplayer till a recent upgrade few days ago. After the upgrade I have found that I cannot access pages on preview versions https://settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile/f books on Google books. Briefly browsed the net I found that I need Flash for this function.

I manually downloaded flash player 11.1 from the archives for flash player Web page.  Even though flash player is now installed, each time I try to access it, i am directed to an online page - https:// settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile. This page always turns out blank.

I would be grateful if somebody could direct me as to how to access the settings page

Regards,

Rasesh.

    Moved to Using Flash Player as this is not relevant to the Beta.

    Adobe no longer supports Flash Player for Android, and it has not received security updates in ages.  We highly recommend that you uninstall it.  Also, there is a lot of malware distributed as Flash Player from sources that are not Adobe.  To minimize your risk to malware, only install applications directly from Adobe or from Google Play.  The vast majority of Android malware infections come from using sketchy third-party app stores.

    If you absolutely need Flash Player for your mobile device, there are a couple browsers that run a Linux-based Flash Player in a datacenter and stream the content to your phone.

    Thanks!

    Dear Mr Clark,

    Thank you for the information.  I now use firefox which seems to allow me to use flash without the need for installation.
