No he was referring that future Flash Player linux version will be only
available in Google Chrome.
I can't decide if that is right or not. As the Pepper API is described as
"cross-platform API for plugins for web browsers," that implies that other
browsers could implement it too. If it is cross-platform though, why is
Adobe ditching direct support for Flash for Linux only?
Sadly, it is another nail in the coffin of Flex as a Flash-based technology,
no matter how one looks at it.

I have been reading a little into it. At the beginning both Mozilla and
google were interested
in pursuing Pepper to resolve the NPAPI "mess". It seems like Mozilla
gave up its efforts[1].
PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API) is theoretically open source and free for
other platforms to integrate as
well but practically it seems to have become a part of the
NativeClient[2]. In other words: Firefox
would support the NativeClient if it would support Pepper. I guess that
is the main reason why they
drop the line there.
