ScratchX doesn't work on Firefox on Ubuntu

I was looking at ScratchX and it simply doesn't work. If I click any of the buttons that are supposed to open the editor, I just get an error in the console:

My browser / operating system: Ubuntu Linux, Firefox 44.0, Flash 11.2 (release 202)

…I don't think I can provide much more information than that…

I don't think ScratchX works on any version of Linux. Idk why, but it works on Windows.
say [Sorry!]

Hmm. I wonder why. I also wonder why I haven't heard anything about this before…

I guess I'll just have to use Windows then.

Just for proof that you're not alone, a very, very long time ago 3 weeks ago, I had a linux computer. I tried using ScratchX on that, and it didn't work. But I use Windows 7 now OK BYE!

ScratchX doesn't work on Firefox on Ubuntu

I've done some digging and apparently, Chromium runs ScratchX correctly. The error comes from an object called
Scratch.FlashApp.$ASobj
Which appears to be an anonymous function. It might be something to do with Flash - Chromium may use a newer version of Pepper Flash that is compatible with the current version of Flash.

Is there anyone with a working Firefox ScratchX player that can provide us with their specs (the globe button)?
