Flash isn't going away soon, Adobe are still providing security
updates for the next 5 years, and Google is adding it into Chrome
directly under their own plugin ( sanctioned by Adobe ). All a bit of
a mess overall with Flash and it not being even developed for the
mobile platforms at all now - not that it'll be missed I guess, apart
from the hassles it gives us it's a memory hog and has seen some major
security holes ( no doubt others will be found too before it totally
disappears ! ).

Not a huge problem not having it working in Firefox and it won't be if
12.04LTS also has the same problem with it :-)
