Not true. I just upgraded to FF 82.0.3 and confirmed that Flash keeps working as usual. adobe-flashplugin was updated a couple of hours ago, btw: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe- flashplugin/1:20201110.1-0ubuntu0.20.10.1 There are (have always been) a lot of misconceptions floating around with respect to Flash, and flashplugin-installer and browser-plugin- freshplayer-pepperflash were certainly removed prematurely. The EOL date is 2020-12-31. Anyway, this is as it is, and the remaining Flash packages should of course be dropped during the hirsute cycle. Replacing Flash packages in stable releases with dummies is something which also should be considered IMO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871471 Title: flash end of life soon, suggest remove from hirsute Status in adobe-flashplugin package in Ubuntu: New Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pepperflashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, Adobe has said they will not be supporting Flash beyond 2020: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/flash-format-support-in-pdf.html https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/ I think we shouldn't ship Flash in hirsute. Does our agreement with Adobe for distributing Flash installers or code allow us to skip shipping Flash in hirsute?
