I really recommend that you switch up to Opera and forget about Chromium 
and Firefox for a number of reasons. It uses much less resources, native 
AdBlock, embedded free VPN for your privacy concerns, it uses chromium 
engine to render pages, pop up video, Speed Dial, etc, etc.

Your issue is also why I've migrated it and I'm not willing to go back, 
I don't keep track of every single change that happens with Debian and 
Mozilla. Before I used to compile a kernel specific to my machine, now I 
just want to install the thing and use it.

I just have enough of this, Firefox is out of Debian, now is back again, 
now Firefox stop working with flash and you have to do some Voodoo magic 
to make it work until the next update that will brake flash player all 
over again.

To make flash, h.264 and html5 work on Opera, all you have to do is this.
1. Download the ".tar.gz" version
https://get.adobe.com/br/flashplayer/

2. Download the last pre-build nwjs-ffmpeg
https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/

3. Install some nice fonts
pt-get install ttf-linux-libertine ttf-freefont ttf-mscorefonts-installer

4. Download and install Opera
http://www.opera.com/

5. Open Opera and at the top left cornet, click at the red Opera logo 
and go "about opera". Check where it is installed, my is something like 
this.
Installed: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera

6. Decompress nwjs-ffmpeg and copy the "libffmpeg.so" to where your 
Opera is installed.

Restart Opera, that's it!

Youtube videos, Facebook videos, cnn, and animations should be working, 
if you test for html5 on Youtube, all should be blue.

If you still need flash player:

1. Decompress the flashplayer
tar -zxvf flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

2. Create the plugins directory as root or using sudo
mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/plugins

3. Copy libpepflashplayer.so to plugins directory
cp libpepflashplayer.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/plugins

Restart Opera.

You can use the Debian version:
https://wiki.debian.org/Opera

Please note that you have to update the nwjs-ffmpeg every time a new 
Opera version arrives.
