The same error message appears in the shell (different pipe error) when running a local flash (.swf) that always worked before the recent firefox 65 that was pushed to ubuntu 14.04 LTS systems. Sure 14.04 LTS and flash are approching end of support so the number of users affected may not be large but it would be great if this could be fixed.
