[solved] Can't install android Flash Player

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
After testing several Flash Player (11.1.115.69-81) versions with latest Firefox it seems that the new version of Alien Dalvik from 1.0.3.8 update has broken compatibility with Flash libs. Firefox no longer founds necessary Flash plugin though it is definitely installed on the system.
After some digging I found that hacked Flash Player for KitKat is at least recognized by Firefox as plugin (though it is still not working here - because new hacked Flash is working only with Dolphin).
So I assume (according to this post on xda) now Alien Dalvik uses some system libs from Android KitKat that lacks exports necessary for Flash to work.
Does anyone know how to get .rpm of Alien Dalvik's previous version? Was there really any good reasons to move to the new version of Android libs from KitKat?
I've got firefox 26.0.1 and flash is working (11.1.115.69). Although, I installed flash after the 1.0.3.8-update.

Lcferrum ( 2014-02-25 12:52:34 +0200 )editNah, still no luck. Firefox doesn't recognize Flash plugin. Gabroth, what is your version of Alien Dalvik? Mine is 0.7.1-2.
Lcferrum ( 2014-02-25 13:08:19 +0200 )editI have Firefox 27.0 and flash is working. Flash version is 11.1.115.69 and Alien Dalvik version is 0.7.1-2.
Neo ( 2014-02-25 13:40:16 +0200 )editMy Firefox is also 27.0, and I have also tried 11.1.115.69 - still no result. Could you guys please check - do you have libflashplayer.so located somewhere on your phone?
