Not a duplicate as per the answer!
This is my first posting here and I'm still a novice user of Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 17.10 and Firefox 59.0.2 (64 bits). I've already installed the flash plug-in as I read here, but I still can't load a website using flash (Adobe Connect). I've got the same problem like this person. Now, instead of that screen, I see a white screen. Then I tried to install the plug-in for freshplayer-pepperflash with the terminal:
sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash
but the package couldn't be found. Thanks in advanced for your help.

There's no need to install any pepperflash packages. Just installadobe-flashpluginand you will get the latest flash plug-in installed.

@GunnarHjalmarsson I am absolutely sure about it. What specific information are you asking about on that link? Nowhere does it say that freshplayer-pepperflash is needed. It probably should not recommend how to install it any longer, though.

Did some research, and found an issue with the adobe-flashplugin package. Reported as bug #1767476.
Since you are using Firefox, I would recommend these steps for now:
Uninstall the Flash related packages you may have installed:
sudo apt purge adobe-flashplugin browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflashInstall the
flashplugin-installerpackage:sudo apt install flashplugin-installerRestart your web browser.
Edit 2018-04-28:
The bug seems to have been fixed, so this page ought to apply as usual again.
