In the first step I would also do the same with "flashplugin-nonfree" if you tried installing it before. When you go to adobe's site, there will be a prompt right there asking you to download flash, click on that and download the .tar.gz file to the desktop. You can then unzip it to the desktop by double-clicking the folder (on your desktop) and click extract. Now open up a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). Type these exactly with out the quote "cd /home/*USR*/Desktop/*extractedfolder*" where *USR* is your user name and *extractedfolder* is the folder that you extracted to your desktop. Now type "sudo ./flashplayer-installer". Just keep choosing y or yes during install. When it asks for your install directory of firefox it will "/usr/lib/firefox" and you should be good to go after that. Pretty much follow what the poster said.

I followed the steps on other sites, like you said you did in the introduction, and nothing worked. I followed your simple steps and it works great! On the other hand though I have learned a bit in this ordeal. Im new to Linux and Ubuntu and I was searching everywhere on how to get flash to work.
