2016: Firefox Replacement for Adobe Flash

Two-part Question. My box is 16.04

As I understand it: Adobe Flash for Linux is no longer supported and I am wondering if the security updates are supported?

What is the plan to replace Adobe Flash with a successor in Firefox (on Ubuntu)? Perhaps this has already happened?

Solution 1:

Adobe Flash Player for Firefox is updated again. The latest version of the adobe-flashplugin package in Canonical Partner installs version 24.0.0.186 of both the NPAPI and PPAPI plugin.

Solution 2:

Adobe Flash player for Firefox 11.2 is still supported.

Alternatively you can use Pepper Flash for Chromium based browsers. It is installed by default in Google Chrome.

Recently Adobe announced that they will update NPAPI Flash player 11.2 soon and will keep it up to date with Pepper Flash.
