Hello Gunnar, or anyone else affected,
Accepted freshplayerplugin into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freshplayerplugin/0.3.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in

Bug description:
[Impact]
browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash prevents sites which require
Flash from working with the latest versions of Firefox. If you select
"Ask to Activate" in FF, the contents requiring Flash is not shown. If
you select "Always Activate", the tab with the page requiring Flash
simply crashes.
Issue identified via <https://askubuntu.com/q/1048357>. A "no change
rebuild" does not help.
The proposed version in the PPA fixes the issue, so the wrapper works
as intended also with the latest FF version.

This suggests an upgrade to a newer upstream version. This is the
upstream changelog:
2017-12-23 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovrinat at mail.ru>
* release v0.3.9
* network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL
2017-12-09 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovrinat at mail.ru>
* release: v0.3.8
* misc: add NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall emulation for Firefox 58
2017-05-31 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovrinat at mail.ru>
* release: v0.3.7
* graphics: add more fullscreen _NET_WM controls
* misc: drop libpdf wrapper
* misc: drop NaCl wrapper
* misc: search for PepperFlash in Chrome component update
directories
2016-10-05 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovrinat at mail.ru>
* release: v0.3.6
* graphics: fix off-by-one pixel issue in fullscreen scaling
mode
* graphics: try to flicker less
* misc: use ICU for character set conversion, use WhatWG
canonical encoding name conversion
* misc: guess default character encoding from locale name
* misc: guess GTK+ major version at run time
Admittedly it includes a few minor improvements, but hopefully this
can still pass as an SRUable microrelease (or something...).
[Test Case]
1. Install adobe-flashplugin and the {xenial,bionic}-release
version of browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash.
2. (Re)start Firefox and visit
<https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html>.
=> Find that it doesn't confirm that Flash is installed.
3. Install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from
{xenial,bionic}-proposed.
4. Repeat 2.
=> Confirmation that the latest Flash version is installed.
[Regression Potential]
Considering that the {xenial,bionic}-release version of
browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash breaks Flash completely on
Firefox, the risk that this upload makes the situation worse is
non-existent.
