YouTube's video player used to be built in Flash.įlash is no longer supported and can't be downloaded from Adobe any more. One of the most common things Flash was used for on websites was displaying video content. Sometimes web browsers will come with Flash pre-installed, so that you don't need to install it yourself. Seeing this again in Firefox 49 on Fedora 24, where about:plugins is reporting that flash is out of date (11.2.202.632) even though it has been updated to 11.2.202.635 (STATEVULNERABLEUPDATEAVAILABLE). Why do we check if it's installed?įlash is not a default component of a web browser, and so it's possible to run a web browser without having it installed or enabled. What was Adobe Flash?Īdobe Flash (or just "Flash") is a software platform that allows websites to show rich multimedia content. It's no longer possible to download it from Adobe's website and Adobe won't be releasing any new versions or security fixes for it.Īdditionally, as of January 12, 2021, even if you have Flash Player already installed, it won't run Flash files any more, thus rendering it completely "End of Life". That’s why Firefox’s Plugin Check doesn’t flag the old Flash plug-in as outdated. As of December 31, 2020, Adobe has stopped supporting Flash Player. Adobe notes they’re continuing to provide security updates for Flash 11.2 on Linux, but they’re only actively developing the Pepper Flash plug-in for Linux.
