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.

What Ubuntu version do you use? My package only exists starting from 15.10... :-/– Byte Commander ♦Dec 18, 2015 at 19:26
SOLVED !!! I had to to load chromium and pepperflash with the adobe flash-plugin installed as well. also could not use face book messenger web app, had to access thru browser for everything to work.
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.
