I have ubuntu 16.04, firefox version 47. and according to this page https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html my flash player version is
21.0.0.197.

It was working fine till about a week ago when some updates were installed. Unfortunately i did not note what they were.

I have no video on firefox. The sound works fine, but in the flash box is just a black screen. I cant even view the settings panel.

I followed the directions here https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html , did a purge first, then installed. Same issue. So I tried the install that I found on a few pages. 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

No good there also. Note: Chrome works fine, its just not working in firefox.

Are you sure that you have Flash version 21.0 installed on Ubuntu? I don't think that sounds correct since Adobe has held the Linux version of Flash at version 11.2 for a while now. (Although, Adobe plans to eventually re-support Linux at version 23.0 and beyond.)

Anyways, look at my solution for using Flash on Firefox with Ubuntu 16.04 at question #799481.
