I've received a note from Alin Andrei suggesting that I'm having the problem because: ".. there's no Google Chrome on 32bit any more .."
Actually, there is Chromium for 32-bit, and I have it installed on my Xubuntu 16.04 machine. The problem is that pepperflashplugin-nonfree doesn't manage to grab the flash plugin from the Google site. But one can actually follow the screen prompts that come with Opera and download Adobe flash; that makes it work .. but it's somewhat slow.
So pepperflashplugin-nonfree needs to be updated so it can grab an appropriate plugin from somewhere when it finds itself running on a 32-bit machine!
