The bottom line is that flash for Linux is no longer supported beyond what you already have installed.
Ahem, who do you think provided the updates to .438 and now .440 then? Adobe _still_ obviously does fix security problems so it seems. But that's it. Enjoy while it lasts. And, again I have .440 available for 12.1-12.3 in my home repo if you're lagging with the upgrade to 13.x
It's a pain in the asphalt but you will just have to muddle through with what's available. I watched a flash video just a few minutes ago and I had to tell Firefox to use what it already had. It just doesn't seem to remember from start to the next start that you want it to use what flash plugin it has installed. You seem rather confused here. Do you have multiple flash-plugins installed? If so: clean up. Remove them all! I recommend you remove alternative plugins (gnash etc.) too. Install the latest 11.2.202.440. All fixed. And install the prefbar addon so you can switch on flash only when wanted. And Noscript.

According to the Adobe website:
"*NOTE*: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux."
I do have the latest and greatest installed. Firefox still wants a newer version that will never come.
The Windows version of Flash Player is now 16.0.0.296. This is what Firefox is programmed to want.
False. Wrong. FF handles each operating system for each own. Open the blocklist.xml from your FF profile dir and see for your self: Look at the matches for the filenames: For MacOS only: <pluginItem blockID="p94"> <match name="filename" exp="Flash\ Player\.plugin" /> <versionRange minVersion="0" maxVersion="10.2.159.1" severity="0"> </versionRange> <infoURL>https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/</infoURL> </pluginItem> For MS Windows only: <pluginItem blockID="p160"> <match name="filename" exp="NPSWF32\.dll" /> <versionRange minVersion="0" maxVersion="10.2.9999" severity="0" vulnerabilitystatus="1"> </versionRange> <infoURL>https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/</infoURL> </pluginItem> For Linux only: <pluginItem os="Linux" blockID="p826"> <match name="filename" exp="libflashplayer\.so" /> <versionRange minVersion="11.2.202.425" maxVersion="11.2.202.439" severity="0" vulnerabilitystatus="1"> </versionRange> <infoURL>https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/</infoURL> </pluginItem> For MacOS and Windows combined: <pluginItem blockID="p828"> <match name="filename" exp="(NPSWF32.*\.dll)|(Flash\ Player\.plugin)" /> <versionRange minVersion="15.0.0.243" maxVersion="16.0.0.287" severity="0" vulnerabilitystatus="1"> </versionRange> <infoURL>https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/</infoURL> </pluginItem> Each OS is handled as needed. ATM the version numbers for MacOS and Windows are the same, thus a combined entry is used. But Linux has only limited support by Adobe and thus a other version number, and gets a own entry.
