Adobe Flash Player

[shaggytwodope]

I continually get a messages on Firefox that my Adobe Flash Player is outdated and I have to "allow" it view certain things on the screen. If I choose to update from the browser (an option), I am asked to choose YUM, tar.gz, .rpm or APT for Ubuntu 10.04 and don't know which to choose. (I'm using LL 10.08.) Saw something on TV news recently that said Adobe Flash was going out of use. Should I try to update from the browser and what should I choose from above choices, or should I just ignore these messages and keep allowing as I do now. Thanks. Max

Most security updates are done as fast as possible, This ofc is assuming you update as soon as possible. Firefox did this for the sake of security for users. And it's perfectly ok. With that said all you need to do is run updates on your system. The newest version of flash is already out for linuxlite users. There is no need currently to manually install flash.

To sum it up, the latest version is 11.2.202.491 and it is already there. Just run updates and it should be all you need to do for now. If there are any major security issues we'll try our best to provide any info on fixes in the future. There is no need to manually install atm, just be sure to run updates. Run Install Updates in the menu regularly, if you have any other questions or concerns tho be sure to ask.
