Hi muzi on my 32 bit still no success on my 64 bit notebook, Flash kept working normal while FF upgraded to version 56
on the Ubuntu17.10 beta artful with FF55, I had also problems getting Flash installed. But I found a nice site that lists all available Ubuntu packages, called https://packages.ubuntu.com selected the artful packages and found flash installer. downloaded that package via the local ubuntu distribution site, that offered me a deb package which installed without a problem and made Flash working corrrectly.
