Running Linux Mint Qiana Ver 17 and the repsitories do not have either
SeaMonkey or Adobe Flash listed in the search. So they have both been

like likely possibilities provided no solution to the problem Perhaps I
should go back to Mint 13 where it everything worked.
As I said - I don't really need flash video anyhow.
I know that with Ubuntu, the standard method for installing Flash is to
install flashplugin-installer. I have no problems with Flash running in
both Seamonkey and Firefox running on Ubuntu 12.04.
I have a Mint installation (16, I think) on a VM, but don't have it
started at the moment. If I remember correctly, a majority of Mint's
packages come from Ubuntu repositories (except in places where Mint has
explicitly done something different). I'm guessing that you should be
able to install flashplugin-installer via normal Mint procedures, and
it's likely to do what you want.
I checked the Mint repository, and for a quiana installation, this may
be what you're looking for:
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/m/mint-flashplugin-10.2/mint-flashplugin-10.2_10.2.153.1_i386.deb
For what it's worth, Adobe is pretty sticky about demanding that
installs of its stuff come from direct downloads from Adobe servers. For
Windows and Mac stuff, if you're working in a corporate environment, and
want to keep current downloadables parked on a LAN, or distribution via
CD, you have to get a license to do that -- it's free, but they want an
estimate of how many copies get installed in the course of a year.
With flash installers in Linux repositories, I believe that they're
merely frontend scripts that poll an Adobe server to download and install.

Downloaded 10.2.153.1 as mentioned above. It installed effortlessly,
unfortunatly SM blocks it when installed and wants to upgrade due to
security issues. Tried the flash versions 11 and 10.3 but they won't
install properly over 10.2
