Not a duplicate as per the answer!

This is my first posting here and I'm still a novice user of Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 17.10 and Firefox 59.0.2 (64 bits). I've already installed the flash plug-in as I read here, but I still can't load a website using flash (Adobe Connect). I've got the same problem like this person. Now, instead of that screen, I see a white screen. Then I tried to install the plug-in for freshplayer-pepperflash with the terminal:

sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

but the package couldn't be found. Thanks in advanced for your help.

Did some research, and found an issue with the adobe-flashplugin package. Reported as bug #1767476.

Since you are using Firefox, I would recommend these steps for now:

  1. Uninstall the Flash related packages you may have installed:

    sudo apt purge adobe-flashplugin browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

  2. Install the flashplugin-installer package:

    sudo apt install flashplugin-installer

  3. Restart your web browser.

Edit 2018-04-28:

The bug seems to have been fixed, so this page ought to apply as usual again.
