No more Flash for Firefox on Linux

Adobe has announced that its proprietary Flash plugin will be moving to a new "Pepper" API for interaction with the browser, leaving the old Netscape plugin API behind. "For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the 'Pepper' API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release."
