That's strange. In your other posts you said you found that "new"
version, but I get mine just by going to www.adobe.com, and at the
bottom of the page, right side, click on "flashplayer." That takes me
to the download page with Linux 64bit already picked, I choose the
tar.gz file even though there's a .deb one. Download, unpack and
copy as root libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ after
mv'ing the old version just in case. Done!
For years while using Fedora, manually was the ONLY way to install the
flashplayer. And since "install-flashplayer-nonfree" stopped
working months ago, I reverted to my old Fedora habits..
I noted as you did that there are a lot of other places for the player,
mostly symbolic links, but the above works for me, so I keep doing it
that way.
As to how to find out when a new version is out, I wait until Firefox
during my normal browsing notifies me my version is old and my system
"..is at risk." Then just do the manual download/install thing. I
don't use the Firefox link to the new version. Have had problems with
it before.
