Hi all,

is there a difference between flashplugin-nonfree and mozilla-flashplugin?
As far as I saw, both are using flash-files from adobe.com (identical files but
with diffferent names), although mozilla-flashplugin offers additionally
configuration options (and packages). But besides this, I could not see any
other (technical) difference.

Which one is recommended?

Greetings

Hans

They both should provide the same but I still prefer to go to Adobe site
an get the file from there.

Sorry my fault! Should have read more exactly, of course I meant flashplayer-
mozilla, not mozilla-flashplugin

And both seem to get the files directly from adobes site, too.

Ask correct, so the answer is correct. Hmmz.....

Cheers

Hans

I know nothing about Marillat's packages, but you have to update
flashplugin-nonfree manually by running:

update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

The package itself is not updated for every new upstream release, but the
checksum it downloads and the plugin tarball is.
