Hi,
I'm testing a system that has had problems with the i915 graphics
driver in the past. At the moment it is running Lubuntu 16.04 LTS
GNU/Linux and everything is fine.
However, I haven't activated flash playback in Firefox, yet. In the
run up to Firefox 47 (I think), I was led to believe that Flash files
would be natively handled using HTML5.
That doesn't seem to have happened. I've looked in Firefox's Tools ->
Add-ons and searching for "Shockwave Flash" yields 98 results.Not too
sure which one to try.
For security reasons, I disabled Flash playback on computers.
Can anyone advise me what to do next?
TIA,
Ian

Ian:
There is a package in the Ubuntu repository called
flashplugin-instcaller, which (after you install it) will install the
flash-plugin version for Linux on your machine, which then works in
FireFox.
I have been using that successfully on all of my machines, and to my
knowledge, with no problems.
