Another option is to install Google Chrome and get more recent versions of 
Flash provided for you by Google.  As far as I know, Google made an agreement 
with Adobe to allow Google to support Flash on linux - I'm willing to be 
corrected on this if someone has a source that negates this premise.

But yes, I agree that Flash is a hell hole of security flaws and problems.  I 
think most sites are starting to migrate to "HTML5", including some online game 
companies - hopefully we won't need Flash in the future.
