Adobe's page says it now has a secure flash player to upgrade to but I get the msg that Ubuntu won't support it.
HOW CAN I WATCH VIDEOS? Is there another player?

"HOW CAN I WATCH VIDEOS? Is there another player?" Yes HTML5 supports video playback natively in current browsers and the WebM format is the best solution currently for Linux users, websites just need to implement it. – LiveWireBT Jul 17 '15 at 05:40

Ubuntu does support flash (using flashplugin-installer from the repos)
You should be able to update/install it using:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
or, it and other software should also be updated if you use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
The updated version is currently 11.2.202.491, which should fix the security issues and firefox blocking it.

@ThomasW. The current version for Linux is 11.2.202.491, which the latest Firefox thinks is ok to allow to run (on 14.04 atleast). It does block the 481 version though. – Wilf Jul 17 '15 at 11:03

That's mostly because an update was recently released yesterday. Read this – Thomas Ward Jul 17 '15 at 11:47
