PepperFreshplayer might work; it downloads chrome and extracts the flash plugin. I have no idea if it will download the 64bit chrome and if that will work for 32bit FF, though.
https://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer/Installing Mind you, the update script broke recently, but there is a patch here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818540 Your other option is to just just use the normal flashplugin-nonfree on firefox-- it is old but they still maintain security updates.
