I neither like it, but Adobe Flash Player is the only 1:1 replacement for
Adobe Flash Player, we like it or no :-(

Adobe will continue the maintenance of the Linux packages but no new
releases which means only security patches will be delivered. If you ask
me, I prefer this way: on every Flash Player update there's a high chance
for something that was working it simply breaks so Adobe decision is fine
with me.
OTOH, html5 is now at the corner, my hope is that Flash Player for the
web dies in a very near future...

I mean what problem you had with Adobe Flash Player. The rest of the
flash player implementations fail in a way or another.

Yes, because there's no problem with that unless you explicety mention
one. There are (or "there were", I hope they are still there!) plugins to
view flash videos from Mozilla browsers using mplayer -or another video
player- as backend.
