Adobe stopped developing Flash for Linux many moons ago.  As such, ever since moving to 14.04 LTS, I've found that the Flash plugin for Firefox is extraordinarily flakey.  The best alternative I've found is Googles Pepperflash.  Pepperflash is actually made to work with Chromium, but some very nice people have created a wrapper for it called Fresh Flash.  Here's how to install it:
 
  
1. Install Pepper Flash
 
 
  sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
 
  sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
 
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash
 
  sudo apt-get update
 
  sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer
 
 
2. Create a symlink for the plugin
 
 
  sudo mkdir -p /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash
 
  sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/google
 
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/libpepflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash
 
 
3. Install Fresh Player Plugin:
 
 
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
 
  sudo apt-get update
 
  sudo apt-get install freshplayerplugin
 
 
4. Restart your browser and noe Flash should work :-)
