Umm, this thread is solved so your comments are useless, but I will email adobe.

Just for clarity for anyone reading -- as far as I am aware there are many people using the latest Flash for Firefox on systems such as Slackware and Arch and the package itself comes in a .tar.gz not a specific .deb .or .rpm.
So unless the OP posts a link to a credible source stating that Flash is not working on anything but Debian or Red Hat I would simply ignore this as FUD.

#1 the advice about flash is passe, old news, if your offended by it being repeated: i dont care. adobe quick making linux versions they say so on the web site
#2 mozilla foundation. yes they are getting USA grant money you'd know had you checked.
#3 advice to "stick to OEM" is good advice and for Debian OS it is always what administrators urge when a user has upgraded themselves into library issues
are looking for flowery words? should i have said "mozilla is a fine organization" while speaking of funding?
but this isn't a place for appeasing your worries or your vanity with adjectives. it's a place for fact about dependancy and compiling or softwawre. and you added the adjectives YOURSELF. please line and verse point to adjectives i added

This is not what you said you claimed that the Flash release was only for Debian and Red Hat. Now you change your tune to a half-truth.

Firefox 38 may well work fine [or not] if you install it outside of Fedora's package management system but with Fedora if you want to use it when attached to the internet you should always install updates to keep your system safe. This is not a "forced-upgrade" it is a consequence of Fedora being a bleeding-edge distribution used for testing Red Hat packages -- it will break and you will have to upgrade. Otherwise you would install CentOS, Debian Stable or some other non bleeding-edge release.
Kindly stop spreading needless FUD.
For what it's worth I find the situation with Flash annoying and am happy that it's being phased out. But posting angry FUD which misinforms people does not help people solve their issues.

i compiles linux from scratch (my own year 2010 make completely w/o help/team)
i did compile and run ff 39 using X.org "X11R7" OR X11R6-4.8.0 using gtk+2.(14+)
i had no issues with tabs or lock ups. 39 was very slow and cause some important sites to work (compared to ff20) while it cause other sites to now FAIL. 20 is also very slow, even 5 is without gigabytes of extra memory for it to devour to do: "pictures and text" (hell, software was doing that in 1980's with <1mb memory).
i had missing ff39 icons (a separate issue i complained about - an issue only someone using non-"major linux" compiling hacked code will run into: they made a broken release of gtk for people to trip over, said nothing in changlog of huge change)
