Anyway be careful, you probably will need to enable manually when needed in Iceweasel, as it is disabled by default due to various security problems. Maybe they are now fixed but it was this before I remove it. To upgrade the plugin, issue: update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

This is not just an upgrade problem, because on fresh Jessie simply
copying libflashplayer.so to .mozilla/plugins doesn't work either.

Why?
