[solved] run helpscript again for firefox flash

I made a new install of BL. Here I chose to install flash with chromium. However, I afterwards regretted and wanted to install with firefox. I ran the script again, but was not able to get the option for installing flash with firefox.

I also tried  sudo apt-get install bunsen-pepperflash in terminal, but that did not work either.

Any one with any suggestions?

Re: [solved] run helpscript again for firefox flash

To use bunsen-pepperflash with FF you will need the browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash package but this is only available from the jessie-backports repository.

Instructions here:

https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

Well, you have to actually install the package as well 

Be sure to update the database first:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

Lol, thanx

I installed it but it does not work. And I checked its installed. But trying to "use" it I get thrown an error that the browser can not find it.

Yes here it is,

sudo: update-bunsen-pepperflash: Kommando ikke fundet

Does that say it is not installed? which is weird, because when I try to install it, it says its allready installed.

Ah and, Kommando ikke fundet means command not found.

I should hasten to say that last time I installed bl, I also had some trouble with firefox flash, which I solved by restarting the comp. This time I made sure to restart.

Re: [solved] run helpscript again for firefox flash

^ It's the bunsen-pepperflash package that you need, that supplies libpepperflashplayer.so

So:

sudo apt install bunsen-pepperflash
