Although Flash is not my beloved platform at all, I understand that there's still lot of people using Ubuntu depending on that. So, one strategy to allow Firefox to load a more updated NPAPI flash plugin (that has not a planned EOL), would be to use freshplayerplugin¹. I'm using that for long time, and it's working really well (indeed much better than the stock one), while it should not depend on Hal.
