Which version of the Flash plugin are you using? Does
"about:plugins"
show anything in Epiphany (I'm not even sure if that trick
works in
Epiphany, but it works everywhere else).

So Epiphany is not finding the Flash plugin. Move the plugin
to where
Epiphany finds its plugins. I'm not sure where that is, but
surely
someone on this list does.

The Flash plugin is a file called
"libflashplayer.so".

This depends on the distribution you're running. It could be
something
like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. If your distro builds
Epiphany against
Firefox then Epiphany should automatically find all plugins
that Firefox
does.

Epiphany doesn't put plugins anywhere. It depends on the
plugins
installed for Mozilla (either Firefox or XULRunner).

Epiphany isn't going to cut ties with Mozilla for the
forseeable future.

Well, that's weird. Is your distro Debian or Debian-based?
Then it might
be that there's an alias because they're not distributing a
browser
under the Mozilla brand any more because of licensing
issues. Their
version of Firefox is called Iceweasel, for example.

Yeah, mozilla Debian package is a transition package, but it
doesn't
point to Epiphany at all, it points to Iceape (which is
Debian version
of Seamonkey).

Larry: Mike pointed you to libflashplayer.so, it has to be
installed
in /usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins/.  Note also that Debian
provides an
installer for the Flash plugin, flashplayer-nonfree,
installing it
would be the recommended way to get the proprietary plugin
installed.

The package is called flashplugin-nonfree. It can be
downloaded from 
<h
ttp://packages.debian.org/flashplugin-nonfree>. If it
does not show up 
in synaptic then the reason is probably that you don't have
the 'non-
free' section of the Debian package repository enabled. This
can be 
probably be done from within synaptic, but I don't know how
since I don't 
use it myself.
