32-bit Flash?

[Brien Dieterle]

PepperFreshplayer might work; it downloads chrome and extracts the
flash plugin.  I have no idea if it will download the 64bit chrome and
if that will work for 32bit FF, though.

Mind you, the update script broke recently, but there is a patch here:

Your other option is to just just use the normal flashplugin-nonfree
on firefox-- it is old but they still maintain security updates.

I'm gonna give her my old 32-bit ThinkPad to try out: it's quite performant with LMDE (up-to-date on Debian 8) and Xfce but may be too weird for a Windows user. However I know she's gonna wanna play video. The TP plays DVDs well, and its Firefox plays HTML5 video well, and its now-discontinued Chrome plays Flash and HTML5 video well. I'm just wondering if there's another/better option for 32-bit Flash, given that 32-bit Chrome is not gonna update on Linux.
