Copy the whole link's into your address bar and then it will ask you if you want to download them.

Okay ive downloaded them both and installed the top one I think with the installer,but the other one says error with dependencies or something like that,and wont install,sorry if im being dumb bit of an amateur to be honest,also do I need to reboot for the installations to take effect?

 

Thanks again!

Re: flash on linux 5.0

First i downloaded the two files.
Then i installed gnash (not plugin), with add/remove feature.
Then i open the plugin file like it was a compressed zip file and dragged out the file within to the desktop.
Then i placed the file under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. The folder was already made.
