Hello !

If you want to install the flash plugin for Firefox, you just have to open Firefox and surf a webpage with flash content.

Adobe Flash Player is not available in a 64bit package, so if you want to install Flash on a 64bits architecture, you'll have to install a 32bits version of Firefox.

Regards,
Benoît

installing flash is easy :)
just install the flashplugin-nonfree package from the repositories via synaptic/apt-get (sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ) restart firefox (or whatever browser you use) and flash should now work :)

I am also having problems with macromdia flash player. I have tried what you all suggest and install the flashplugin-nonfree but still on some web sites the photos won't appear. Can I install the latest version 9 on my computer. I have downloaded the tar file to a CD, but how do I install it from the CD.?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you help with this problem?
