Unable to find Adobe Flash Player plugin

[Bob_Hawkins]

Please excuse me if I am in the wrong place: I am advised in various instances recently about the apparent absence of Adobe Flash Player. I see it in my list of programs (Adobe Flash Player 21 NPAPI; Install Date 24/03/2016; Version 21.0.0.197) and the Adobe web site confirms it is on my Windows 8 PC but disabled. about:plugins>Details displays one plugin and two files relating to Chromium PDF Viewer only. I should appreciate someone’s explanation and solution.

Hi Bob Hawkins,
The internal PPAPI Flash is not present with the current version, it may return in future versions.
Installing the PPAPI Flash plugin on the system works with both Chromodo and Dragon.

Kind regards.

Note: NPAPI plugin support is now disabled by default, PPAPI plugin support is enabled by default.

Online installer.
Using the following site.
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions

1. Select your operating system.
2. 2. Select FP for Opera and Chromium-PPAPI, then download. (Hint: Deselect the option offer for McAfee security scan before downloading if not required.)
3. Close the browser and navigate to the recently download installer and execute.
4. Select finish and reopen your browser.

Offline installer.
The offline installer is more reliable if you are experiencing any connection glitches.

Flash Player for Opera and Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI

Kind regards.

I thank you for your constructive reply. I wonder, before I begin: should I uninstall the program Adobe Flash Player 21 NPAPI; Install Date 24/03/2016; Version 21.0.0.197?

Hi Bob Hawkins,
Both versions of the plugin are independent and both can be on the system together.
Other non Chromium based browsers such as IceDragon still use the NPAPI version.

Kind regards.
