I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I cannot install flash player from Adobe's website so I had found Adobe Flash Plug-in from Ubuntu Software Center. But version of this plug-in is 11.2.202.559.Can I update this plug-in? or is there any other way for install Flash player?


Thanks.

Adobe only supports Linux with security/stability fixes on the old Flash Player 11.2 ESR branch (Plugin based). Some websites no longer support Plash 11.2 on Linux and news sites are common on this.

Linux users can have a option of using a newer Flash Player in Firefox and SeaMonkey. It takes using the freshplayerplugin wrapper to make use of the PPAPI Pepper Flash from Chrome/chromium.
