Sorry there is no fix for this. The latest Flash version provided by Adobe for Linux is 11.2. And pogo.com requires >11.7
As a workaround you could install a Windows version of e.g. Firefox in Wine or in a VM and use Flash for Windows with that. But that's quite ugly. I'd rather look for alternative websites/games.
Edit: Install Chromium with Pepper Flash
Open a Terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser pepflashplugin-installer
echo ". /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh" | sudo tee -a /etc/chromium-browser/default
Now open Chrome and go to chrome://plugins
. If everything was correct you should see now Adobe Flash Player - Version: 11.8.XXX
Flash player is completely dead for all operating systems as of 2021.
Install the latest version of flash player
These instructions will install the latest version of flash player for Chromium and it will also be updated automatically. In addition to installing flash player for Chromium, it will also install/reinstall Adobe flash player for Firefox, and it will also be updated automatically.
To install the latest version of flash player search the Dash (in Ubuntu releases before 17.10) or the Show Applications dashboard (in Ubuntu 17.10 or later) for Software & Updates and open the Software & Updates window. Click the Other Software tab in the Software & Updates window, and put a check mark in the checkbox to the left of where it says: Canonical Partners.
Software & Updates in Ubuntu 17.10
Click the Close button to close the Software & Updates window.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt remove pepperflashplugin-nonfree # remove pepperflashplugin-nonfree if it's installed
sudo apt update
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash # 16.04 and later
Original answer
Don't use the instructions under this heading anymore because they are obsolete. Follow the updated "Install the latest version of flash player" instructions instead.
I found something that says Google's Chrome Browser should do the job (using a "pepper-based version"), and for Chromium there is an ppa.
There is no need to add a PPA to your software sources to install Pepper Flash Player 15 in the latest version of Chromium web browser from the Ubuntu Software Center.
In Ubuntu 14.04 and onward, Pepper Flash Player can be installed using the Ubuntu Software Center.
If a more recent version of Pepper Flash Player has been released and you want to update Pepper Flash Player to the latest version, you can do this from the terminal using the following command:
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
Pepper Flash Player cannot be updated with the following command anymore on 32-bit OSs since Google ended support for Chrome on 32-bit Linux in March, 2016. If you are using Ubuntu 32-bit were using Ubuntu 32-bit before March, 2016, you can update Pepper Flash Player to the latest version from the terminal using the following command:
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree:i386 --install
Either of these two commands will download the latest version of Google Chrome (the file is larger than 40MB) and then update only the Pepper Flash Player with the more recent version of Pepper Flash Player that is bundled with Google Chrome without installing Google Chrome.
If updating Pepper Flash Player to the latest version fails with an error like this:
ERROR: failed to retrieve status information from google : W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397BC53640DB551
It happens because Google changed its signing key. To fix it run the following commands:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551
gpg --export --armor 1397BC53640DB551 | sudo sh -c 'cat >> /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/pubkey-google.txt'
...and then try to update Pepper Flash Player to the latest version again.

First
Make sure you have the Universe repository enabled (in Software Sources, accessible from Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources, or
sudo add-apt-repository universe
or see How do I enable the "Universe" repository? ).1a. And just in case the
adobe-flashplugin
package is missing, you may not have the "Canonical Parter" repo activated in Software & Updates / Software Sources, see Ubuntu's help page for 14.04 trusty or 16.04 xenial.Update package index files (run
sudo apt-get update
).Mozilla, Firefox - NPAPI (Extended Support Release)
In this case, it looks like yours only launching the Software Center, and maybe doing a strange search that doesn't get any results.
I'd run
apt-cache
in a terminal, and search foradobe-flashplugin
orflashplugin-installer
(or justflashplugin
).I've got
adobe-flashplugin
installed, but there's several "adobe flashplugin" packages available, trying to install a different one wants to remove this one first. I thinkadobe-flashplugin
is the version you'd want, apparently from these Q's What's the difference between flashplugin-installer and adobe-flashplugin? and flashplugin-installer vs. flashplugin-nonfree vs. adobe-flashplugin the difference is:flashplugin-installer
- extracts the 32-bit Flash player, and installs a 32-bit compatibility layer for 64-bit systems.adobe-flashplugin
32-bit or 64-bit version, depending on your systemThis search should find all that're available (and also the pepperflash plugin mentined below):
Then you should be able to install with this:
(Or if you wanted the other one,
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
)Chrome (embedded), Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI
If you're using the Chrome/Chromium browser, it uses it's own Pepper flash player that is currently the same version for Windows & Mac & Linux. Chrome has it already embedded, while Chromium requires a package install.
(FYI, The Difference between Google Chrome and Chromium on Linux)
The Chromium packages are in the Ubuntu universe repo as
chromium-browser
andpepperflashplugin-nonfree
so can be installed with these commands:sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
or both at once:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser pepperflashplugin-nonfree
And after they're installed the pepperflashplayer has it's own update script:
Check the versions installed and available "upstream":
Install the lastest version available:
Use the Pepper Flash plugin with Mozilla/Firefox
FYI: I just saw an article on WebUpd8.org about a Firefox plugin available on the WebUpd8 PPA that should let you use the newer Pepper flash player. Here's a link & clip:
Here are the pasted instructions for adding the WebUpd8 PPA & the Fresh Player Plugin:
