Adobe Flash and Maxthon

NOTE: The information below is for Maxthon 4.9.x & 5.x releases.
For Maxthon 4.4.x and earlier releases see this post.

---

Update to the most recent version of Flash from here: http://get.adobe.com/flash

The page will show that it has detected Chrome. If not, check that the default user agent is in use.

Click "Do you have a different operating system or browser?"

Select your Operating System from the dropdown menu.

Select "FP for Opera and Chromium - PPAPI" to install the correct version for Maxthon to use.

Press the download button on the right and let the installer run.

Close Maxthon.

Open an Explorer window (Win+E) and go to the folder you installed Maxthon to, then navigate to the folder:
For MX5: \Core\plugins
For MX4.9: \Core\Blink\plugins

NOTE: Default install folders are:
For 32bit OS - C:\Program Files\Maxthon
For 64bit OS - C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxthon

In this folder there should be a file called pepflashplayer.dll. Rename (eg. append .org to the filename) or delete this file only. Renaming is the recommended option.

Copy pepflashplayer32_XX_X_X_XXX.dll from the windows folder to the Maxthon \Core\Blink\plugins folder, and rename it to pepflashplayer.dll.

The file is found in the following locations:
For 64bit OS - C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For 32bit OS - C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Restart Maxthon & goto http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

The page should show the current version installed and the most recent version available, both of which should match.

Maxthon is now using the current version of Flash.

If everything was done correctly you should have something similar to the following image, and a plugins folder as below.
