Jeez, I'm running google chrome and I don't think the flashplayer is
built in, frankly (not in my case anyway). I thought it was built in for
Windows only.
Anyway, to update my flashplugin-nonfree thingamajiggy, I run :
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
and it goes out and does the right thing and downloads and unpacks
everything nicely. Then I close and reopen my browser(s), and I'm good
to go.
