Pretty much what the title says. Do I need to install an extension or something?

You do know that Flash is deprecated and almost all major browsers have already dropped Flash support. It makes little sense in 2020 to still install it in a browser


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Easy to say, but there's still a considerable amount of flash content out there. I had to do some mandatory annual training yesterday, and was forced to use Chrome to make the flash content display.

yep, flash is deprecated and best to be avoided but if find you need it then Falkon uses the pepperflash plugin used by chromium. install the pepper flash plug-in.
In Neon:
Code: Select all
sudo pkon install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash pepperflashplugin-nonfree

and manually update by:
Code: Select all
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020. You can install the pepper flash plug-in.
