Install Mozilla Flash Plugin in Ubuntu

I get questions about installing Flash plugin for Ubuntu some of the time, and here’s a quick howto activate the plugin in any Linux distro. Assuming you use Ubuntu :
First, download the flash plugin from Adobe website, click the Download Now button

From Desktop, goto Applications->Accesories->Terminal, type

tar zxvf ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz

You’ll see a list of files extracted. Then type,

install_flash_player_7_linux/flashplayer-installer

Answer a few questions, then the screen will tell you that the Installation was successful.

Close your browser, and start it again. You should have your Flash plugin support in Mozilla Firefox browser right now.
