You have a screen like this?
You tried to click on 'Get ADOBE' and allow site to use flash?

| One thing to keep in mind, is firefox and chrome anymore does NOT allow flash to auto-run by default, in that you need to tell it to allow to run. So you may want to see if you missed a small window or indicator asking if it is ok to run. |

I configured chrome to enabled all pages to run flash without asking. |

| Given the impressively bad security record of Adobe Flash, that seems unwise. What are you doing that you not only want Flash installed, but want it to be so easily exploitable? |

I enabled it as a debugging effort for trying to browse https://webench.ti.com/webench5/spicemodels/ |

If you do not understand it, why do you think either of those steps would help? Neither is a typical solution for most Linux problems. |
