I guess that you have this problem with flashplugin-nonfree 1:2.8.2 too.

I guess that it still works for most users, unfortunately not for you.

Users of flashplugin-nonfree should use "update-flashplugin-nonfree --install"
when Adobe releases a newer Adobe Flash Player for security.  I guess you have
not done this for some time (or never?) or you would have experienced this
problem earlier with flashplugin-nonfree 1:2.8.2.

I maintain flashplugin-nonfree, not the Adobe Flash Player.  Please report this
problem to Adobe.

That is normal since flashplugin-nonfree always selects the newest Adobe Flash
Player available at Adobe.

Please add it to the report to Adobe, since they might find it useful.

That could be useful info for Adobe as well.

Hereby doing that.  I'll keep the bug open for some time for other users to
find it.  But the problem should be reported to Adobe, not to Debian.

I agree.  There are probably other users having the same problem.

If you find a workaround, then please document it on
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer for other users.
