Looks like both Adobe and Mozilla agree: Why putting resources for something with a somewhat questionable future on a marginal platform like desktop Linux. After all the announcement says "on Linux". So NPAPI and thereby FF seem to be supported by Adobe on Windows even in the future.

Whether Flash really loses to HTML5 and how fast remains to be seen. But that desktop Linux drastically would gain market share seems even less likely (unfortunately).
