I installed something called DownloadHelper, but never used it.

$ pacman -Qi firefox
Name           : firefox
Version        : 15.0.1-1
Architecture   : x86_64
$ pacman -Qi flashplugin
Name           : flashplugin
Version        : 11.2.202.238-1
Architecture   : x86_64

However, for Debian it won't be different as it is for Arch, so at the
moment we still get a working flashplayer. I can't remember any
notification about an outdated flashplayer.
HTML5 won't play ads and does allow right click, so some videos can't be
watched with it. IIRC full screen also doesn't work.
Gnash usually does cause a notification about an outdated flashplayer or
something like that, IOW it doesn't work.

I don't like to download everything and I never downloaded a flash
video.
