Firefox v68.2(ESR) & SeaMonkey v2.49.5 fail 2 C Flash Player v32 b293 plugin in Debian v8 (Jessie).

[AntD00d]

I had to reuse the last month's old v32 b270 to get my Flash plugins working again. 😞 Is anyone else seeing this issue too?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

I am not an expert on Debian, but it might be that your libraries are too old. Please check with 

ldd libflashplayer.so

if there are any errors.

[Test Screen Name]

Probably not this, but MAYBE it's planned obsolescense. I don't know if 70.0.1 is a preview for a 2020 release? In https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Plugins/Roadmap it says "In early 2020, Flash support will be completely removed from consumer versions of Firefox." and that's pretty soon.

[AntD00d]

Test_Screen_Name: It happens in old SeaMonkey (based on Firefox v52's Gecko) too. My bad. I meant to say Firefox v68.2.0 ESR, not v70.0.1. Too many computers and web browsers! 😞

[Robert Mc Dowell]

Maybe it's a 32/64 bits story?

I'm not sure Debian is supporting 32bits anymore.

[gw666]

No, AntD00d is using Debian Jessie, that is an old release that supports 32 bit applications.

[incident41]

Here's a me too, running Oracle Linux 7 (hence quite a different distro than Debian).

I have substantial proof that 32.0.0.293 has broken Firefox ESR detection, not only at 68.2 but starting as far back as 60.1; have a read at my post on the Mozilla forums (since I thought it was a FF issue at first) here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1272934 , the details are in my last update today.

Can we please have a fixed plugin soon, please? Thanks in advance.

[incident41]

Obviously after posting all of my research I stumble in the actual bug already being logged... https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FP-4199058 

[AntD00d]

Thank you for posting and sharing, incident41. I'm glad I am not alone. For now, I will keep using the last working version. 🙂

[AntD00d]

FYI. B303 is out now and still not fixed. Your bug report still shows under review. How can we escalate this? 😞

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.
