I noticed that before chromium-browser-38 (e.g. chromium-31), the browser was able to find the "external" flash plugin (/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/...).
I didn't have followed the development but I presume that "such" plugins are not supported anymore, right?
Correct. Chromium no longer supports NPAPI Netscape Plugin API.

Thanks for the clarification!
So the older 11.2.x version, which btw has no more development from Adobe other than security fixes, works with Firefox only.
The newer 15.x version pepper based flash works with Chromium. But, as far as my understanding goes, that plugin can only be distributed by Google.
