Your reference has a link to
https://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/src/881dbd07a263/docs/model_matrix.txtwhich
shows  that ru87x supports my webcam.  The relevant line is:

0x05CA  0x1810  R5U870  UVC     HP Pavilion Webcam


And when I did install it I used the instructions at
https://launchpad.net/~r5u87x-loader/+archive/ppa which also shows the same
info.  This is the first time the webcam has worked in ubuntu for several
years.  And as I said it does work in cheese but not for the Flash
10.2.159.1 I am using (Flash required by BigBlueButton).  Oh, and the Flash
player settings shows it sees the webcam as "UVC Camera (05CA:1810) (V4L2)".
