Thank you psyca for reporting this.

And thank you Nicolas for jumping on - and fixing - it so quickly. I was in the process of clarifying it chez Adobe (bad experience) to decide what to do. Already done!

Installed and tested.

Installed without issues.

Works on Firefox aurora version 72.0b4 (current beta of developer version).
Tested using Firefox on several sites without issues.

Did NOT work on Konqueror version 5.0.97.
I did not bother investigating why it did not work on konqueror.

Its OK for me since I rarely need the flash plugin and use Firefox as my main browser anyway.


System: Mageia 7, x86_64, Plasma DE, LXQt DE, Intel CPU, nVidia GPU using nvidia340 proprietary driver.

Tested flash-player-plugin-32.0.0.303-1.mga7.nonfree in core/updates_testing.

Install works and flash works with firefox. Cant get to work with Chrome, Chromium and Falkon (Plugin not supported, but i think its because its blocked by the Chromium Engine, which is used by these three Browsers) - So its ok i would say.
