Update Chrome browser. Because Flash is software built into Chrome, you don't need to struggle to figure out how to run it. You just need to update your Chrome browser to the latest version and Flash will work normally.

If Flash in Chrome browser is broken, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Install on Firefox Browser

Press CTRL + ALT + T simultaneously or press the "Super" key (windows key) and type in the word "Terminal." Run "Terminal". You will see a terminal appear.

Type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"

Type in the sudo administrator password. You can't see the asterisk on the screen but you can still type.

Install the plugin by pressing "Y" (yes) on Terminal.

Restart Firefox for the new add-on to take effect.
