Description bugzilla-ok 2017-11-14 15:15:47 PST 
Adobe Flash installed by flashplugin-installer (27.0.0.183ubuntu1) and working with Firefox (56.0). Not working with Epiphany (3.26.1), Surf (2.0), or MiniBrowser (libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37).

Tested with http://www.speedtest.net ("legacy" site), http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about, and others.

Can you confirm that you have the WebKitPluginProcess2 binary installed? It's a subpackage on many distros. It should be in the same place as WebKitPluginProcess (pkglibexecdir, not completely sure where that is on Ubuntu).

WebKitPluginProcess2 was installed. Purged and reinstalled libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2. Flash started working!

Unfortunately, the reinstall broke https://boltbus.com so bookings couldn't be made. Uninstalled libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2 to it.

I believe boltbus.com works without flash if not installed, but breaks with flash running through WebKitPluginProcess2. Works as expected in firefox.
