Flash not working after Ubuntu Upgrade

There is a common issue with Firefox and Flash when updating/ upgrading Ubuntu where the flash stops working.

Here is a fix to get it working again:

Firstly you must remove the previous flash plugins you have installed on your Ubuntu system.

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-* --purge

On removing the flash plugin on ubuntu you must then reinstall.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

After running this restart your Firefox browser and flash will be working once again.
