Everytime I visit a new web page which has flash app's on it keep telling me my flash is old and to update flash and confirm that I want to run the flash app, how can I get it to stop asking and just run flash without asking, it is becoming a pain in the rear...........
It's not an issue, it's security check.
Firefox found that you have out-of-date flash plugin installed.
Best thing to do is, use Google Chrome .deb

Sadly Adobe doesn't provide any updates for Linux anymore (the NPAPI/Netscape-compatible version). It's stuck at 11.2 (might still supply some security fixes, but not for long now). The only browser that has an up-to-date Flash plugin is Google Chrome, which uses PPAPI version of Flash, which still is supported by Adobe.
I am well aware of Adobe non support of flash in Linux but up until about a week ago I was using Firefox (with another distro) and I never had an issue with playing flash, it just go on and played it no warning message's nothing. Is this something that has just brought in or just something common to Iceweasel??
There are several modern, good alternatives to the trouble-ridden iceweasel-firefox duo. See

Indeed, there is. There's a "PPAPI host" NPAPI plugin available, but it's still experimental and requires manual building. I'm still setting up my new development environment, so I can't make a quick DEB package, yet. For those interested in trying to build it themselves, here's the link to the project:

Has anyone tried pepper flash? Flash didn't work in latest Opera and installing it helped.
If anyone wish to give it a go, try
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
Pepper flash is available in synaptic package manager. The problem is, there are no more updates for flash player outside Google Chrome built in plugin.

I was suggesting to use pepper flash instead of Adobe's plugin
And I thought pepper flash is also out dated. I thought Google Chrome based flash player is the only flash player that receives future updates.
Go to here and install pipeligjt for Debian Jesse. http://pipelight.net/cms/install/installation-debian.html
You can install flash, silverlight, widevine...whatever you need. I have it installed in open box 4.0 rc3 and it works like a charm. Didn't even need the spoofer to trick the websites into thinking I'm using windows to use the flash 17 that pipelight supplies.
Enjoy!

Thanks.
It took 3 hours for me to install all plugins and 5 minutes copy and install all those plugins in Desktop to Laptop.
Desktop around 3 hours and copy .wine-pipelight to Laptop and it took 5 minutes in Laptop.
Has anyone tried lightspark and browser-plugin-lightspark?

pipelight for debian uses windows flash with drm support. requires wine 32 bit libraries. install this after installing steam if you use steam for gaming or steam wont run.
freshplayer use linux pepperflash inside firefox but has no drm support as hal will not work with pepperflash in linux to provide drm support
both option are discused at webupd8.org for more info.
You are welcome.
Lightspark seems like a well worthy idea. I hope they succeed.

I am not sure about it. I don't use Chromium or Chrome.
I wish that damn flash disappear once for good.
pepperflash isnt outdated. Its the only flash for linux available natively and only comes with chrome. it can be installed from the command line and will run on chromium but it will not work with mozilla based browsers.
sudo apt-get install pepperflasplugin-nonfree chromium
http://www.binarytides.com/better-xubuntu-14-04/4. Install flash player
Google Chrome has adobe flash player inbuilt, so you do not need to install flash player separately. The latest adobe flash plugin now runs inside Google Chrome using the Pepper API. The pepper api allows plugins to run entirely inside the browser without any dependency on the underlying OS. This means that you always get the uptodate flash plugin inside Google Chrome.
Check the plugin version and files by opening the following url in google chrome
chrome://plugins
Click "Details" on top right and then search for flash on the page.
Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 13.0.0.182
Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
Version: 13.0.0.182
Location: /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
Type: PPAPI (out-of-process)
libpepflashplayer.so indicates Pepper API based flash player. We can see that the latest version (13.0.0.182 at the time of this post) of flash is installed.
For Chromium browser installed the pepperflash package. It will download chrome browser and extract the pepperflash files and installed it for chromium.
$ sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
For Mozilla Firefox we need to install the native flash player plugin for linux.
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
In Firefox open the url "about:plugins" to check details about the installed plugins. Search for flash. libflashplayer.so indicates the native flash player.
Now that the native flash player does not receive updates (except security updates) anymore. Version 11.2.202.350 was the last release. More details here.
