I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu with Flash (flashplugin-installer) and it's still receiving updates. It's an older version, but it has been working fine with every Flash site I've visited so far.

Yes, looks like I was misinformed there. While there are no more feature updates, security issues will continue to be released for about another year.

Not from my experience. There's quite a few sites that require a newer flash player, so it's either Google's PPAPI Flash or Windows.
