The Application Installer is referring to the version available at adobe.com. Frank, if you install flashplugin-nonfree this will fix your issue.
Since the bug reported is for the downloadable one and not the one from the Ubuntu repositories, I am going to close this bug. If your issue lies within the one from the Ubuntu repositories, please open a new report using 'flashplugin-nonfree' as the package affected. Thank you. ** Changed in: flash-player (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- Installing flash plugin on Edgy Eft does not include flash into Epiphany or Firefox https://launchpad.net/bugs/75511 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
