Quit your browser. 4. Remove all existing Adobe Flash Player installations from the system. 5. Unpackage the file. A directory with contains libflashplayer.so will be created. 6. Copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Create the ‘plugins’ folder if it does not exist yet. 7. Launch your brower.
