I am having trouble with Adobe Flash in Firefox 24.4.0 esr. Will the Firefox 34.0.5 package be made available soon? I have checked Aper, but the latest version of FF is not included. Thank you.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am not sure this is a Kwheezy problem and may be only partially a Firefox problem. It does seem to be a problem affecting many versions of Linux as well as Macs and Windows machines. It also seems to be a very complicated problem.
This is a Firefox bug I believe. The Debian repo should be patching flash plugin, so it's just a matter of Firefox honouring that flash is safe.
Best fix I can find ATM is to tell Firefox to ignore blocked plugins.
SOLUTION:
1.) in Firefox address bar, clear and type about:config
2.) search for extensions.blocklist.enabled
3.) change value to false
4.) restart Firefox

I downloaded gnash via Synaptic and can now play some Flash files. You might try that while waiting for Adobe and Mozilla to straighten things out.
And I just found that some videos I need for a course I am taking that will not play in Firefox DO play in Iceweasel.
