Today iceweasel said that flash player is outdated...

My system (13.2 - 32bits) was completely updated yesterday.

Any advice?

Are you running Testing or Stable AntiX 13.2?

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/"
linktext was:"Download the latest flash 32 bit available for linux."
====================================
From adobes site. Extract the tarball.
Look for libflashplayer.so

Extract it. Place it in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree. It will overwrite your old libflashplayer.so. So if wanting to keep your original. Rename it to libflashplayer.so.old before placing in the new flashplayer. Iceweasel needs to be closed during this process.

Because you are running Stable. You need to do this by hand. Restart Iceweasel and check your flashplayer version then.

this should do the work for you.

as root:

Code: Select all

update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

You can run this command (as root) every time you need to update Flash plugin, but the other way as DO has described works too if you don't mind getting your hands dirty __{{emoticon}}__

Thank you Dolphin_Oracle! Solved for me also. The flashplugin was outdated and it was causing my PC to crash. All taken care of. Again, thank you!
