Unable to reach Adobe downloads?
by on (#163732)
For some reason, I'm unable to access get.adobe.com to download Flash Player, for example. No clue what's up. -_-;;
It's been a few days. Any help?

If you use Firefox, you could try Mozilla Shumway (SWF player) until Adobe.com comes back up.

Weird, I'm also unable to access adobe.com. Did they block accesses from Brazil or something? I can see some of the contents of the page using the first free proxy I found, but the page is all mangled without any CSS.

Any chance of an offline installation? Could someone provide the Flash player installer?

EDIT: the site is loading now. I could download & install it finally.

Use Chrome.

Your comment was too short for me to determine conclusively whether you meant "Use Chrome" to download Flash Player for Firefox or "Use Chrome" for its bundled Flash Player. The latter is fine if the extensions you use in Firefox are also available for Chrome. Otherwise, how do you get Firefox to automatically open Chrome when visiting sites that use Flash and Chrome to open Firefox when visiting sites on which you habitually use Firefox-exclusive extensions?

I meant to use Chrome's pepper flash, which is all around better than Adobe's.

I find Firefox is far more customizable (with userChrome.js and about:config and all sorts of other stuff, including modifying SQL schemas and even modifying a binary with a hex editor; I still could not figure out how to change the behaviour/appearance of file inputs and how to change the scrollbars to act like Athena scrollbars), which is main reason I use Firefox. (I myself do not use Flash though, and do not have any installed.)
