Today I am switching to the Chromium browser as Adobe is no longer supporting its flash plugin on Firefix for linux (Ubuntu specifically). Hoping Adobe changes their mind. Firefox was great for years.

Not until firefox supports PPAPI so the brower can render the websites I am interested in visiting that use flash, or those websites convert to HTML5, will I consider using firefox again.

Just wanted to let you know that you will be hemmoraging uses due to this lack of support.

Adobe does indeed still support Flash on Linux, only it is the 11.2 ESR with security updates.

Adobe released a 11.2.202.425 update on December 9 along with the updates for Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.259 ESR and 15.0.0.246.

Mozilla has no plans to use the Pepper flash (that Chrome uses) with any Firefox version for any OS. Though there is a experimental wrapper freshplayerplugin to have the Pepper flash from Chrome to run in Firefox on Linux.
