Install Fresh Player Plugin on Ubuntu via PPA (Pepper Flash Wrapper for Firefox). The latest Fresh Player Plugin 0.2.4 is released with accelerated rendering and high DPI support.
The latest Adobe Flash Player versions are only available on Linux Systems via/through Google Chrome browser. Other browsers are still using the older version of Adobe Flash Player, version 11.2.
While Adobe Flash Player plugin is bundled with Google Chrome in the form of a PPAPI (or Pepper Plugin API) plugin, Mozilla hasn’t added support for it.
But, you can easily install this wrapper so Firefox can use the latest Pepper Flash from Google Chrome.
PPAPI or Pepper Plugin API is an interface promoted by Chromium/Chrome team for browser plugins. It’s NPAPI-inspired API which features function such as two-dimensional graphics, OpenGL ES, font rendering, network access, audio, and so on.
