I have Firefox running on Ubuntu, and it has 2 plugins named Shockwave Flash: If it is not safe, what about using it just for some games sites?.If yes, maybe it is good idea to copy recent Linux Shockwave flash from my computer and spread in the world? I need instructions how to do it for Ubuntu 14.04.

Official Adobe page suggests version 11.2 for Linux, as before. I disable version 11.2, but sometimes it get enabled by itself. I prepared a screenshot to post here, but I do not have enough reputation to post images. Now I have 2 Shockwave plugins, and they keep updating. Since then everything working, including games. Maybe they were so hurry to fix the critical problem that forgot about not updating Linux version, but then fixed it, I do not know. Now it was recommending version 11.2 for Linux. So I installed Pepperflash which gave me version 16.0 which is now updated to version 17.0, as recommended by Adobe Security Bulletin.Ībout week later with another update I looked at the Adobe Security Bulletin again. until the middle of January, when Shockwave updater suddenly notified me about a new critical security update. I did not removed Shockwave plugin, just disabled it and got it out of my mind, I also tried Chrome for these games, it started but got stuck in the middle.

Video playing was fine, but I could not run some on-line games that needed newer Shockwave Flash. Then I learned (as many newbies did) that Adobe does not updating it after version 11.2. When I first installed Ubuntu more then year ago, I also installed Shockwave Flash plugin and its automatic updater.
