Install Adobe Flash 7

Mozilla and Firefox plugin directory are located respectively in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.

open your archive, there should be installer

just do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree from the command line, or go to synaptic and search for flashplugin and install it.

You need to have the multiverse repository enabled to install flashplugin-nonfree.
If you need help to enable the multiverse repository see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories

Version 7.0.68 seems working. See bug #60430.
