1. Download and install an older version of Firefox, e.g. version 51
2. Install flash plugin
3. Create a separate user profile for this installation
4. Symlink `libflashplugin.so` to `<user-profile-dir>/plugins/`
5. Start Firefox with new profile like this: `</firefox-path>/firefox --profile <profile-path> --no-remote`
    * Use `--no-remote` to create a new window in a new session
    * Otherwise an already open Firefox would spawn a new window
