If FreeBSD should use the Linux version, than Flash in the near future either way won't work any more. IIRC Flash only is needed by some browsers and only for videos that e.g. start with an advertising and special tasks like that. I'm not sure, but AFAIR HTML 5 can replace Flash, assumed a video doesn't start with an advertising and things like that. For Linux Adobe will continue providing security upgrades for 11.2 in the future, but that won't help, when websites expect newer versions.
