Note: This tutorial shows you how to install only the Flash player plugin for web browsers. If you want to install Flash, Java, MP3 playback, and a lot of other popular proprietary codecs all at once, go here instead.
If you would like an alternative way to install Flash, please visit the older version of this page.
If you use 64-bit Ubuntu, apparently, it's quite a more complicated procedure to get Flash installed.
When you visit a page that requires a Flash plugin, you will get the message that the plugin is missing.
Instead of clicking Install Missing Plugins in the top-right, which will just lead to no suitable plugin being found, click on the prompt in the window to download the plugin from Adobe.
Once at the Adobe website, select from the drop-down menu the APT option.
Click to agree and install. Then click OK.
Click Yes.
Authenticate with your user password.
Click Install.
Wait for the Flash plugin to install.
Before you can use the plugin, you may have to quit Firefox and then start it again.
Once you've started Firefox again, you should be able to view Flash-using websites.
