There is a package that provides flash as described below. 
browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
I think it essentially copies the binary from other chrome distributions.

I wonder if we could get alternate content with a different UA string,
its quite unusual to see sites that provide flash only.


The main goal of the project is to get PPAPI (Chrome) plugins
working in Firefox (and any other web-browser supporting NPAPI plugins).
It implements a wrapper which behaves like browser to PPAPI plugin and 
implements NPAPI plugin interface for browser to use.

This particular implementation doesn't implement any sandboxing, which
means any malicious code can break through plugin security as there are
no additional barriers. This is the same level of security as NPAPI
Flash have.

Flash plugin for Linux provided by adobe stopped at version 11.2; for
chrome/chromium users there is pepperflash plugin but it's not supported
by firefox/iceweasel/other browsers.

This package allows one to use the Pepper Flash plugin from Chrome in
NPAPI web browsers.
