I have spent numerous hours downloading various files from Adobe and following instructions for manual installs,and have successfully downloaded the libpepflashplayer.so file which is supposed to work with Linux. I note the instructions about where to move the file or any other flash file does not work as the usr/lib/opera/plugins directory does not exist with Opera 42. Should I put this file in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/opera directory instead?

Or do I not have the correct file. I couldn't find any suitable download for Opera on the Adobe flash site.

This is a great disadvantage in using Opera with this system, even though I love it for most of its features. But to listen to most of the online radio stations I use, I have to switch back to Firefox which is very irritating.

Any help or suggestions would be welcome. But why isn't the latest Opera for Linux provided with a suitable flash plug in?
