Ah, I see.  Looks like development stopped on GNASH
(https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/) about 10 years ago, so it's
unlikely that it would be helpful for your situation.

Still, if it's still browser based, it probably wouldn't be any harder
to get the old plugin working on linux firefox/chrome compared to
windows firefox/chrome.  If it's not browser based, then you're probably
out of luck.

That said, there is a right answer for porting these (even stand-alone)
things to HTML5: make an Electron based cross-platform app
https://www.electronjs.org/
(this is what the Jitsi people did for their "Jitsi app").
