Videos from http://www.abc.net.au/iview/ fail to play in Firefox 21 because of the obsolete (compared to Windows 8) version of Shockwave Flash Player that comes with the latest updates for ubuntu and kubuntu (KDE) Linux. Please advise the Linux community to provide an update that is usable on this major TV network site (which, just in case you have no access to check it, is only usable to Australian users through local domains).

Adobe doesn't supply Flash updates for Firefox on Linux beyond Flash 11.2.

If websites require later Flash versions then your only option is to use Google Chrome for those websites.
