Running F25 , The adobe flash plugin shows installed but it still doesn't work .
I've tried the install instructions but it still doesn't work. Is the plugin supported ?

Flash i's in fact almost dead. The fastest and easiest way is to install Google Chrome (not Chromium), the flash is embedded on Chrome.

There's this wrapper for firefox: freshplayerplugin.

Installing flash from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ works (at least in firefox) and is supported by Adobe. The linux versions are the same as the version released for windows. Some years ago, Adobe announced that the linux support would be discontinued, but that seems to have been reverted.

Although flash it is not as important as it used to be, there are still videos on the internet which are only available in flash format.

It works for me, Firefox version 57 and flash-plugin-28.0.0.137-release from the adobe repository. So it is still supported by Adobe and regular updates is made available.

I've tried every updated, package download , and I'm missing secret here . I'm sure someone knows how to fix this or has a work around.

It's not entirely dead, but you'll be better off without it, install audio and video codecs and most videos should work.

P.S. Remove Flash, if it misbehaves, it might be blocking HTML5 videos.

Old information, flash isn't dead... man!

Yeah, looking at a number of new severe CVE's every month or annual top 5 apps with most critical vulnerabilities, I'd say it's alive and kicking* ;)

* literally kicking its users, not prospering.

So my advice stands still, flash is as good as dead, stay away from it if you can.

@Marke50 can you update your question with new info?
