As the title explains, this guide will show you how to run the Pepper Flash Plugin in Firefox without the need to install Chrome.

If you are running Pinguy OS 14.04 all the PPA's needed are already added.

For none Pinguy OS users you will need to add the nilarimogard/webupd8 PPA.

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

Once added, run:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freshplayerplugin

(If you have any Flash plugins installed other then freshplayerplugin remove them now)

As this doesn't include "libpepflashplayer.so" you will see error messages whenever you try to use the freshplayerplugin.

To get around this run:

Code:
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Code:
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

Now you will be able to use the Pepper Flash Player in Firefox without needing Chrome.
