I've been trying to solve this on Ubuntu 14.10. There does not seem to be an update path. I've installed the deb on https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ which does not resolve it.

"All versions of Adobe’s Flash Player plugin are currently deactivated by default, until Adobe releases an updated version to address known critical security issues."
There's no updated version yet.

#13Linux still struggles with HTML5 and flash
What does this have to do with HTML5?
Why on earth should Firefox ship a different HTML5 engine for Linux than for the other OSes? To me, it doesn't make a lot sense to assume Firefox provides a better HTML5 implementation for all other operating systems.
With all due respect, this comment seems to be more of an overall anti-Linux sentiment.

#14I hope this will be another push for content creators to abolish flash in the long term.

Actually, Firefox uses the platform decoders to decode patented codecs like H264 or AAC. So the operating system does play a role. I also think it's not unreasonable to believe that hardware accelerated H264 decoding works less well on Linux.

I hope this will not make more content creators choose that annoying unity3D plugin thing that doesn't support linux for games.

#18When all browsers disable Flash, a ton of old artistic content will become unaccessible. I'm thinking specifically about Homestuck animations and minigames, but other people will have their own favorites. Is there a good transition plan?
Shumway?
Shumway actually works pretty well on a lot of the old avm1/2 animations. Few run perfectly, but it shows that it is a practical way forward.
