Immediately on reading this I installed flashplayer-mozilla on the computer I 
was working on - my desktop - which is running Wheezy and TDE 3.5.13.2.  It 
installed successfully and I have used it.

Yesterday I went to install it on the computer attached to the TV, running 
Jessie and TDE 14.0.2, and it failed "no candidate version found for 
flashplayer-mozilla" and I can't find it in the package lists on debian.org.  
But a search of the package lists also says that it isn't available in 
wheezy.
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&arch=any&mode=path&searchon=names&keywords=flashplayer-mozilla

I have, however, just installed it on my husband's wheezy desktop, apparently 
totally successfully.  Unfortunately it doesn't fully work - it won't, at the 
moment, run 4oD.  It may be a question of the version of Iceweasel, so I 
shall have to investigate.

But: why will it install in wheezy, but not in Jessie - and yet it is listed 
in neither. :-/
