Asked by charles macdonald

I go into iplayer, try to listen, told i need adobe flash download, (click on bbc site sends you to adobe sight) click on 'select version to instal

Adobe Flash Player
Download Adobe Flash Player
Adobe Flash Player version 11.2.202.258
Your system: Linux 32-bit, Firefox

Different operating system or browser?

NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.

i tried APT for ubuntu 10.04 + but i does not download ( I am a not very tech person)
