Yep, just removed the non free and downloaded and install the .deb from
adobe.

If remove non free from the console and reinstall with apt, you will
notice that the .deb does nothing but download from adobe, but the link
has changed and you get file not found.

Just install the one from adobe for linux .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+
