Hi Gunnar, the Adobe page (link below) says that (under Linux) Chromium and Chrome have the latest version of Flash (currently 22.0.0.209), so presumably that means that when a user installs Chromium or Chrome he/she immediately has the latest version of Flash. So that leaves potential problems with Firefox. Could we just say "If you're using Firefox and you're viewing a website that won't display correctly without the latest version of Flash, switch temporarily to Chromium"? Flash is being used less and less by websites so not having the latest version of Flash is becoming less and less of an inconvenience.
