  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! You may want to specify which version of Ubuntu you are running (11.10, 12.04, 12.10 etc.) – Oyibo Jan 01 '13 at 07:44

You go and download Google Chrome to have the "latest" Flash available. Adobe will not release a new version of Flash (on any platform, add to that the lack of support for Linux), but it will continue to release security updates.

You can also try the free implementations of Flash. Lightspark or Gnash. If you do not want to use Chrome and prefer Firefox for instance, you can install the package flashplugin-installer.

    Excellent alternatives. This is why I love Linux. – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Jun 21 '13 at 16:32

    Well, I said "Excellent alternatives", not: "Excellent FREE AND OPEN SOURCE Alternatives". I am sorry if this doesn't fit what you expect for an "alternative" but it is yet good for me. And it seems that we are -at least- 7 people who find this useful. Good luck and have a nice day. :) – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Feb 06 '14 at 14:15

you could install the latest version of the adobe flash player through pipelight which allows you to use its supported plugins nearly as if you use windows browser.

then you could keep the plugins up-to-date using sudo pipelight-plugin --update
