When I updated Firefox, and then ran getflash, it worked OK.
Make sure you are using the latest version of Getflash.When I start getflash it says:
"unable to contact the server, please check your internet conection"

Adobe Flash Player keeps changing it's server location and Getflash has to be updated.
Thanks for that Bigpup. Took me a while to find this.bigpup wrote:Make sure you are using the latest version of Getflash.When I start getflash it says:

I sometimes play Facebook Games (like Guitar Flash multi-player). Some sites like Soundcloud and Di.fm still need it for some silly reason (probably so you'll see their Flash ads). I think the 'Youtube video editing enhancements' thing use Flash. Like you, I usually keep Flash disabled or in an sfs which isn't loaded, and if we can get by without it for everything, more power to us.Pete wrote:At the risk of sounding facetious, which is not the intention, what is flash still used/needed for?
I'm running Slacko 6.3.0 and I have never bothered with flash and not missing much since youtube started supporting html 5.
Firefox still shows "a plug-in is required to view this content" for about a second or two then it disappears and it plays normally.
So, what am I missing that I need flash for these days?
