I didn't need to ask the Adobe folks. I fixed it on my own, and have let others know how to do so (i.e., temporarily trash all copies of your default browser if it's not Chromium). I call that a 'win' for everyone, except maybe Adobe. My own experience with Adobe is that their cycles for resolving reported problems are slow, when they engage at all. I have no interest in helping them debug their near-monopolistic products, but I do have an interest in helping the Chromium free software community work around Adobe lameness.

Adobe's bug tracker doesn't even have an option for reporting problems with Chromium. Just to be nice, I filed a bug report about it over there anyway, under 'Chrome (all)' for lack of any other sane option. This no longer works, as of September 2015 (and now Oct.) No matter what I do, the Mac version of Chromium will not do Flash. Not sure what version this broke in (I have been bouncing around between various Dev and Canary builds). You can even manually edit ~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Default/Preferences to point directly at the PPAPI Flash plugin, after copying it out of Chrome and putting it into /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/Versions/[version number]/Chromium Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins, mirroring the Chrome installation and Preferences file down to the last details in the plugins section of the JSON in the Preferences file, and it will not work.

Also tried pointing it explicitly at the copy inside Chrome, and at the newer version installed by Adobe in '/Library/Internet plugins', to no avail. Guess I'm just going to relegate Chromium to a dev browser that I don't use day-to-day. Too much hassle to keep having to flip over to another browser and reload the same URL on every other site I go to because their news videos, Flash-driven menus, etc., don't work in Chromium any longer.

Once your bootable USB installation media is ready, remove it and insert it into your Mac, power it on, holding down the Option key, and select the USB you just created to reinstall Mac OS X. Change usb format on mac. .I've got a small favor to ask.

This is definitely NOT an Adobe installer issue, it's a Chromium issue. I've even tried tricks that work with the Linux versions. • Install the last version of Flash player from • Copy the version number in a text-editor or Notes app. • Download version for Mac OSX and Chromium • You can launch Chromium with the last version of flash player enabled from command line: /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium --ppapi-flash-path=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin --ppapi-flash-version=19.0.0.226 Here is where you put the version that you copied from the Adobe website. This preferences won't be a default, I tried changing chrome://flags, plugins, components, but nothing stayed for next run.

Flash Player collects some data in order to track installations and provide updates. Additionally, it may store, or allow third parties to store, certain information on your computer in a local data file known as a local shared object in order to provide customized features. Adobe® Flash® Player is a lightweight browser plug-in and rich Internet application runtime that delivers consistent and engaging user experiences, stunning audio/video playback, and exciting gameplay. Installed on more than 1.3 billion systems, Flash Player is the standard for delivering high-impact, rich Web content.

• Create a Dock launch icon for that command with Automator: • Create a new document of type Application • Library -> Utilities -> Run Shell Script • open -a 'Chromium.app' --args --ppapi-flash-path=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin --ppapi-flash-version=19.0.0.226 • Ctrl+S Save where ever you like (Applications folder?) • Set icon for your new app: Applications folder -> right click in Chromium app -> Get info -> click on small icon (uppper-left corner) -> Ctrl+C. Where you saved your app, right click -> Get Info -> click on small icon -> Ctrl+V • Drag your new app to the Dock.
