Issues With Flash On Linux

[timothyallen]

Hello,
I’m running into a lot of issues trying to get Flash Player working on my system.

To give some background: I have a Dell Dimension E310 running Q4OS with the i386 (32-bit) version. All of my applications are also 32-bit. I tried switching to 64-bit at one point, but it was too resource-intensive for my hardware and couldn’t keep up reliably.

The issue happens when I try to pair my Pale Moon installation with a Flash NPAPI plugin. I’ve tried several different versions of Flash, and they all fail in the same way:

1. I copy the lib.so file into Pale Moon’s plugins directory.
2. Everything looks correct, and the plugin shows up in about:plugins.
3. In about:plugins, I select “ask to activate” for the Flash plugin.
4. I visit a site I know contains Flash content.
5. The site loads and shows “click to activate flash”. After I click, it fails and tells me to “reload page to try again.” I reload, briefly see a white screen flicker, and then nothing else happens.

Does anyone have suggestions for what I should try next, or what might be going wrong with Flash NPAPI on my specific setup?

Use the last properly working version (32.0.0.371) from here and mirror the directory structure as in the archive (you'll need root privileges to do this). There's more than one location to copy shared libraries to.

Please provide troubleshooting information from about:support and the link to the flash content you're trying to access.
