32.0.0.293 on firefox 70.0.1 under CentOS 7.7

Report · Nov 22, 2019

CentOS7.7 system with firefox 70.0.1 installed. The flash-plugin recently update to 32.0.0.293 and now when I look at about:plugins there's nothing about flash listed. I reinstalled flash with 32.0.0.255 and 270, both of those older versions work as expected.

Anyone else seeing that and have a fix?

Hard to understand if you have something to say or just randomly pressing on the keyboard.

Report · Nov 24, 2019

Yes, that's a known problem. You can either wait for a fixed version or downgrade to the previous release. See in the bug tracker:

Thanks for the confirmation and the bug tracker link.

Gonna downgrade systems if I get users complaining. Otherwise just wait for the next update.

Report · Dec 10, 2019

32.0.0.303 is out and this problem is NOT fixed in it. CentOS 7.7, firefox 71.0 show no plugin installed once again. Reverting to the 270 version again.

Report · Dec 11, 2019

For security reasons, Flash Player for Linux has been compiled with updated library dependencies. Please refer to the bottom of https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/readme-flash-player-linux.html for a list of library dependencies. To continue using Flash Player on Linux requires updating to a distro that supports these libraries.

Report · Dec 11, 2019

Updating to a distro that supports those libraries is not a viable solution for a lot of systems. You need to fix the flash plugin to support RHEL/CentOS 7 at least. I can kind of understand not supporting 6 at this point. RHEL 6 is going EOL 11/30/2020 and RHEL 7 going EOL 6/30/2024.

Report · Dec 11, 2019

You are mistaken. The i386 version of the player for both 32.0.0.293 and 32.0.0.303 has no such dependancy. The fact this dependancy exists in the x86_64 version is clearly a symptom of a negligent/poor linking of the binary.

Report · Dec 11, 2019

I'd like to clarify that my message was in response to maria__1 and not BiloxiGeek. Also, I'd like to supplement my post to offer advise everyone that the i386 version of the plugin (both 32.0.0.293 and 32.0.0.303) does work just fine under even RHEL/CentOS 6 (32bit) and would work fine under a 32bit version of 7 if such a thing had existed.

Report · Dec 12, 2019

I think I gotta call BS on maria__1's answer. For linux there's a 32 bit and a 64 bit version of flash and there's two ways to get it; for ppapi and npapi. Of those four different setups only the npapi x86_64 version is failing to work.

Thank you for the additional information. This issue is being investigater further.

This is being tracked at https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199058

Been a week with no updates on this. Is there any news to report?

Report · Jan 07, 2020

We're still waiting for a functional fix. Bug 4199058 is a month and a half old now with no progress.

Report · Jan 22, 2020

Please try with the latest beta build released today and share the feedback. Thanks.

Report · Jan 22, 2020

I can confirm that the beta release, 3.0.0.324, appears to work on the 64 and 32 bit versions of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6 and 7 versions. Inspection of the load library dependancies of all the compiled binaries does indead show that they're no longer encumbered by point-release dependancies of GLIBCXX_3.4.

Hopefully the release version of new RPMs can happen soon now, as I'm sure most of the effected audience for this problem is using the RPMs to install/manage their software installation.

Report · Jan 15, 2020

Still no fix. Versions 32.0.0.[293|303|314] all released and none of them have fixed this problem. No useful information added to bug 4199058 in more than a month.

V32 b324 doesn't work in my Debian v8 (Jessie) with a couple web sites (http://homestarrunner.com and https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/😞

SeaMonkey v2.49.5 (User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.5) gave ActionScript errors like "An ActionScript error has occurred: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: https://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/flashAbout_info_small.swf cannot load data from https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/masterversion/masterversion.xml.

I did test SeaMonkey (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.5) on EL-based systems, and it worked fine. I've gone back and tested both the specific URLs you gave and they both worked as well on those platforms, so your issue seems local to both Debian 8 (Jessie) and one specific browser. Can you confirm the system load libraries are working for the plugin? (running ldd(1) on the libflashplayer.so for 32.0.0.324).

Report · Jan 22, 2020

I'm bringing up the specifics, because I doubt the issue on Debian 8 (Jessie) is related to the issue in this thread (i.e. CentOS 7.7, and a specific issue with the binary being unable to load due to load library issues). Since the issue you're observing doesn't apply to CentOS 7.7 and likely isn't related to the binary being unable to load (since you implied to worked under Firefox), then I'm inclined to believe it's unrelated to same problem reported under this thread and should probably be addressed separately.

simoNTDD: I have a forum thread in https://community.adobe.com/t5/flash-player/firefox-v68-2-esr-amp-seamonkey-v2-49-5-fail-2-c-flash-p..., but it was locked by maria__1 as a duplicate thread. 😞

How can I get debug details about my isolated issue?

I see, and I agree. The separate thread should be unlocked, as these are definitely two separate issues. The issue with load libraries on EL-based systems (RHEL/CentOS/etc) is now very likely resolved. This other issue with SeaMonkey under Debian is definitely a second issue.

https://community.adobe.com/t5/flash-player/firefox-v68-2-esr-amp-seamonkey-v2-49-5-fail-2-c-flash-p... was locked as a duplicate of this issue (64-bit NPAPI plugin not working, https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199059)

Error 2408 issue being reported for both http://homestarrunner.com/ and https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ is unrelated to the main issue of this topic and should be reported separately.

You can file a bug at https://tracker.adobe.com, however, SeaMonkey isn't a supported browser, so it may not get much traction. Please use a supported browser, latest supported versions of Firefox or Chrome, as per https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html. If it's still reproducible in one of the supported browsers include that in the bug record.

Thanks. I filed a new bug report for my Debian's Firefox ESR (managed to get SeaMonkey to work with the non-debug build): https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199073

Thank you.

Please also include the error you reported getting, preferably as a screenshot.
