Just so other's know what's being talked about: only security updates are
being provided for the firefox version of flash.  Google-chrome has the
latest version.  (I'm not sure what chromium has, but I suspect it may be
using the firefox flash.)  For some that means flash-dead-on-linux, some
not.

Adobe doesn't care about Flash any more, especially on Linux. There is
however an (I thought) well-known workaround for this issue:

There is no "may be to blame"... they are to blame since it's their
software.  Workarounds create messes that people have to clean up
later so I would vote no and I wouldn't expect a fix from Adobe either
considering Flash on Linux is dead again unless you have Chrome.
