True, FLASH-AID is no longer in development (but neither is Flash for Linux). Also true, it wasn't required to get Flash working on Firefox. I started using it because I was setting up Apple PowerPC machines as well as older PCs and FLASH-AID would allow me to choose which version of the Flash plugin to get from where as well as install the Gnash browser plug-in when appropriate (the PowerPCs). And I was figuring if the end-user installed conflicting versions of Flash in the future, FLASH-AID would easily fix it. > > 3) Saving SWF files in Firefox involved installing an add-on (Video > Download Helper), telling it specifically to save SWF files and even > then having it not always work.

I'd appreciate details although I suspect that > Chromium does not have *SWF saving ability built-in*. No, I'm not sure. It's been a while since I had a need for it. I thought I remembered all I had to do was Save as... the page an SWF appeared on and it would save the swf file wherever I told it... Okay, looked through my original notes - I had that wrong. In our respin of Lubuntu 12.04; I used Chromium to save SWF files so many times because the SWF files I had would no longer work in Gnash (the non-browser plug-in) local player on Lubuntu 12.04. I had to open the SWF files (I'd originally saved through Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04 with Video Download Helper) with Chromium and re-save them to a different directory. I was remembering how easily each SWF game played and saved through Chromium from my already downloaded (local) collection. Sorry to add that non-existent feature to my list of reasons.
