Choice of Flash Players in Ubuntu Linux

Choice of Flash Players in Ubuntu Linux

Whenever we install a new Firefox browser and navigate to any website that contains flash movie plugins we would be prompted with a 'Missing Plugins' prompt and then the plugin finder webservice would help us locate the appropriate tools.

For Flash, the only tool that would returned by the webservice was Adobe Flash on Windows. In Ubuntu Linux, I just observed three flash movie players were offered to be installed in lieu of just Adobe. So I am no longer locked into a monopoly Adobe shop with respect to Flash movies.
