Awesome! You may want to follow the following file in the future:

The developer of this application (a PPAPI-to-NPAPI wrapper) does a good job of keeping up with the possible locations of the PPAPI Flash plugin.

@Blaze:

You seem to be a little mixed up, "Pepper Flash Player" *is* the PPAPI Adobe Flash plugin, and it is no longer provided by Google alone as part of Chrome, but available for download from Adobe's web site, along with the NPAPI Adobe Flash plugin. Both plugins are maintained by Adobe for respectively PPAPI-compatible browsers (e.g. Chrome) and NPAPI-compatible browsers (e.g. Firefox).

Also, the PPAPI and NPAPI versions are not exactly the same, especially regarding hardware acceleration and DRM support: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/08/beta-news-flash-player-npapi-for-linux.html. This is intentional on Adobe's part. So the difference in your experience between the two plugins most certainly comes from this.
