Flash content on Chrome correctly asks me to enable it but then asks me to right click to run it which does nothing

Question

I recently tried to install Flash for Chromium and Firefox but now no flash content works, not even Chrome which has its own Flash. My issue with Flash content in Firefox is that it crashes right after any input.

I used sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer but nothing changed.

flashplugin-installer doesn't help for Chromium, and Chrome doesn't need a separate Flash package at all. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, Mar 31 '19 at 13:59
@gunnar-hjalmarsson After installing the PPAPI, Flash on Chrome got messed up. That guide doesn't say how to uninstall it so I used the result from a Google Search which actually led me back to AskUbuntu — DragoCubed, Apr 01 '19 at 10:07
Chrome shouldn't be affected by the presence of a Flash package at all; it includes a PPAPI copy by itself. Did you install the PPAPI in some other way than through the adobe-flashplugin package? — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, Apr 01 '19 at 10:17
I didn't. I wasn't expecting Chrome's Flash to break either. — DragoCubed, Apr 02 '19 at 06:18

True. But the other question includes better answers and explanations. I tried to be practical. — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, May 29 '19 at 09:52
That was really not my intention. Is there any part of the issue you reported which hasn't been explained or solved? — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, May 29 '19 at 12:42

Went back to X from Wayland and BAM! Firefox is fixed. Unfortunately Chrome and Chromium aren't fixed.
