Please open a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt-get install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

After restarting Firefox, you will be able to use Flash 19 that way.

I have had the same problem, and have you tried this:

 sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

and then this:

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade

and it might work fine this way.
