With the help of this two sites (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833023 and http://www.linuxveda.com/2015/04/02/enable-mse-native-html5-support-firefox-linux/ ) i succeeded in having all features pointed out here: https://www.youtube.com/html5 to be active.
Would that mean i could get rid of flash?

No. Because many sites will never give up the dependency on at least some Flash components. Take Pandora for example which uses both HTML5 and Flash components, functionality will be severely crippled without support for both. Despite the move towards HTML5 video, support for flash will be required for at least the foreseeable future.

Thanks a lot coreplayer! Good to know, even if it is, eventually, a bad news.

Why is it bad news?

You could get rid of Flash even without html5, more peaceful browsing experience ;)
However many sites are still primarily Flash only, if these are sites you need it's still hard to rid Flash.
On my old hardware, only runs Flash 10, html5 video performance was poor compared to Flash.
Overall i would say they are both poor, compared to SMPlayer or vlc2 streaming.

In the sense that flash is a terrible hole for security - even if you're trying to be careful ...

Eh, I dumped Flash in 2004 and never looked back. I just don't use a site that requires it.
