如何在Linux版Firefox上配置最新版本的Flash：通过Fresh Player插件

As you may know, Adobe stopped supporting the NPAPI version of Flash on Linux and the latest NPAPI version of Flash player at version 11.2 released back in 2012 will only receive security fixes. Even the security fixes to the 11.2 version of the Flash Plugin your Firefox is using will end on May 4, 2017, five years from the release date. I am sure your latest Firefox is complaining to you that your installed Flash plugin is outdated and Firefox is preventing it from running if you are using the NPAPI based 11.2 version of the Flash Plugin.

您可能知道， Adobe在Linux上不再支持Flash的NPAPI版本，而2012年发布的最新的Flash Player的11.2版NPAPI将仅收到安全修复程序。 甚至您的Firefox使用的Flash插件11.2版本的安全修复程序也将于2017年5月4日终止，距发布日期已五年。 我敢肯定，如果您使用的是基于NPAPI的11.2版本的Flash Plugin ，那么您最新的Firefox会向您抱怨已安装的Flash插件已过时，并且Firefox无法运行它。

Adobe points Linux users to the PPAPI or Pepper Plugin API version of Flash Plugin included in Chrome. The Pepper Flash plugin can also be installed in Chromium and Opera supporting the PPAPI. For various reasons, Firefox developers are not interested in implementing PPAPI in Firefox by current.

Adobe将Linux用户指向Chrome中包含的Flash插件的PPAPI或Pepper Plugin API版本。 Pepper Flash插件也可以安装在支持PPAPI的Chromium和Opera中。 由于各种原因，Firefox开发人员目前对在Firefox中实现PPAPI并不感兴趣。

However, that does not mean Firefox users on Linux can not use latest versions of Flash. The open-source freshplayerplugin which is a PPAPI-host NPAPI-plugin adapter for the Flash plugin comes in and allows you to use the latest Flash plugin from Chrome in Firefox on Linux.

但是，这并不意味着Linux上的Firefox用户不能使用最新版本的Flash。 开源的freshplayerplugin是用于Flash插件的PPAPI主机NPAPI插件适配器，可让您在Linux上的Firefox中使用Chrome中最新的Flash插件。
