Flash Player Debugger Version 17.0.0.188 on Mac OS X don't install on Chrome

[NFRIACowboy]

Hi all,

Due the last release of FlashPlayer Version 17.0.0.188, i tried to install the debugger on Chrome, but it not appears in the plugin management.

Any ideia on how to resolve that?

Thanks in advance

Hi NFRIACowboy,

This is actually a Google issue.  Google is deprecating the NPAPI plugin (see https://threatpost.com/google-shuts-off-npapi-in-chrome/112295) and as of Chrome 42 disables NPAPI plugins by default.  Google has not enabled the system PPAPI plugin to work on Chrome on OS X (it does work on Windows), which prevents customers from using the debugger PPAPI on Chrome.

There are a couple of threads on this issue (which include possible workarounds to enabling the system NPAPI plugin and getting Chrome to recognize the system PPAPI plugin).  See FP17 Pepper debugger fails to install on Chrome 42 (OS X 10.8.5) and Latest Chrome doesn't allow system Flash Player plugin.  I believe teh

I recommend filing a bug against Chrome for Google to enable this on their end (Report an issue - Chrome Help), although, some folks may have already filed bugs and you can probably add your comments to the existing bugs.
