What is Adobe doing with plugin downloads?

Apparently Adobe is insisting that only Firefox should be allowed to download the installer for a Flash plugin. I had to fake a Firefox user-agent in SeaMonkey before I was able to download the latest one. Why do that? It makes no sense to me.
It works.
I just downloaded flashplayer and installed 30_0_0_154 from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ I'm on windows 7
Doesn't work for long time - there is available Adobe Download Manager only. ![]() To download full offline installer fellow must use direct URL: Mozilla (NPAPI)
IE (ActiveX)
URLs must be changed for newer versions. ![]()
Actually, that link does still work. This always provides the latest version of Flash for me:

Reason: Killed the live link/s. JIC. (A user on Pale Moon forums ran into issue downloading.
I would expect https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to simply work, but haven't used that in ages. [That link actually downloads a "stub"-installer, & other crap, if you let it, that then downloads what you actually want.] What @Pav78 wrote it the correct answer, IMO.)

Not quite the right answer for MacOS, though.
Oh, that's right, you need a dmg.
Very bottom of these pages, will point to the (same direct for) Windows & (similar for) Mac links: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.19) Gecko/20110420 SeaMonkey/2.0.14 Pinball CopyURL+ FetchTextURL FlashGot NoScript
Funny thing! Your URL and my URL should gave the same files... but they are not the same! EXE file from "latest" folder has older digital signature then "30.0.0.154" folder. SHA256 check sums: "Latest"
"30.0.0.154"
I didn't checked DDLs so I don't know more details.
Yep as you can download the latest version for Windows, Mac or Linux regardless of what OS you are using as it is the "Need Flash Player for a different computer?" link on https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

![]() Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20180711 SeaMonkey/2.49.4 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20170619 SeaMonkey/2.51 Both hashes are correct.
Not quite sure what the /pdc/ means, though there is at least one "pdc" URL (if that means anything?): > https:// www .adobe.com/lib/mobile/pdc/apple.html Appears that other then a couple bytes at the beginning of the file, the only other difference may have something to do with the certificate? (Both are signed by symantec :evilgrin:.) So I'll take it that both are equally valid, though slightly different in packaging leading to different hashes. The one, in order to use, you must know the current version number - in order to get the current version. The other, theoretically, should always return the most current version.

That did not work. I tried that. It sort of worked if I gave SeaMonkey a fake Firefox user-agent, but did not work with any other browser. Therube's second link works, so thanks for that.
