I encountered today a site that requires flash 11.1

I see here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
that I have 11.0.1.98 and the latest (that also ever will be) is 11.2

how exactly do I install flash 11.2 in mint debian?

you'll need the "direct" d/l from adobe

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
This package will download the Flash Player from Adobe. It is a
Netscape/Mozilla type plugin. Any browser based on Netscape or Mozilla can
use the Flash Player. This package currently supports the following browsers:
Mozilla, Mozilla-Firefox, Firefox, Iceweasel, and Iceape. Also Galeon and
Epiphany can use the Flash Player. Konqueror can also use the Flash Player if
konqueror-nsplugins is installed.
