This is no longer the case since 2016-02-27 in the upstream code, and the subsequent release 0.3.5 on 2016-04-12:

Wily and Xenial still ship older versions though, packaged in browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash, so this problem and its consequence are still present and this bug report is still valid.
