[Solved] Flash seems to be broken with Firefox 50.0.1

Flash is needed for VMware vCenter web client.

After updating to 50.0.1 today I get an error when I try to open the vCenter web client of " To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.0 or greater is installed"

Still works fine with Chrome and when I revert to 49.0.2.1

If works for me with the following page which test flash player: http://www.adobe.com/nl/software/flash/about/ . However, the version is 11.2.XXX not 11.5 and I think that's the last version available for firefox (adobe don't publish new versions for firefox for years, only chrome/chromium has the last version) but it is the same with older firefox.

I am unsure what is the vCenter web client. Can you open the Adobe test page? Is your system up to date? Have you installed the flash plugin?

If you use the freshplayerplugin from the aur ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freshplayerplugin ) you'll currently get flash version 23.0.0.207 - I've just had to reinstall this myself as it wasn't been picked up by firefox whereas it was previously. Also as of writing, firefox is now at version 50.0.2-1

Thanks for the replies.

Paulkerry your solution works, cheers.

I had freshplayerplugin installed, but reinstalling it solved the issue.

Probably a good idea to start a new thread after this one has been marked as solved.

Take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_plugins - especially items 9.7 (item 1.1.2 links to the same scenario) and 9.8
