- Open a Terminal window
- In the Terminal window, change to the directory where you saved the file you downloaded (e.g. cd /home/user/Downloads)
- Extract libflashplayer.so from the file you downloaded with the command tar -zxvf
- As the super user, copy the extracted file, libflashplayer.so, to your Firefox installation directory’s plugins sub-directory.
