Unable to download flash player from Adobe

A Former User

I was unable to download the latest flssh plugin from Adobe just now, with Opera 54. I kept getting sent to www.adobe.com when I clicked the Download button. What have they done and is there any way around that? I even tried faking my user-agent and that did not work.

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ seems to work on Windows.

A Former User

It does not work with MacOS 10.12. I tried faking Opera, Chrome, and Firefox on MacOS 10.13 with User-agent Switcher, but that did no good.

@concretable I'm having the same issue...

Try this address - it should let you select the version to download.

A Former User @sgunhouse

@sgunhouse I tried it. It still doesn't work. Whenever I hit "Enable Flash" on pizap.com or other sites I get redirected to download it as if I haven't before!!

That is a different question ... do you see the pop-up asking whether to allow Flash on that site? If you haven't allowed it, then of course they will redirect you.

I don't have a Mac, but it does work in Windows.

A Former User @sgunhouse

@sgunhouse I have that site allowed, but yet it STILL redirects me to Adobe. This is very frustrating...

Do you have Flash for Chromium based browsers installed?

A Former User

I don't, no - and I don't know what Chromium browsers are, sorry? If I try downloading it would that fix the issue?

Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi are examples of Chromium based browsers.

And yes, you need to install Flash for Chromium based browsers (PPAPI Flash) to get Flash content on those browsers.

@leocg Oh my goodness, it's finally working. Thank you so much, and I apologize to concretable for intruding on their thread.
