I have just downloaded install_flash_player_linux.11_x86_tar.gz from the Adobe website. How do I install this package or any other package not found in the Ubuntu Software Center.
I have used sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras.
Rebooted and flash is not working.

Try running
sudo apt-get update
after enabling the restricted repository but before running
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

You can install the flash player package as part of Ubuntu restricted extras:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
This will install Flash player, along with proprietary video codecs, fonts, etc.
Make sure these reposotories are enabled in 'Software & Updates':

Chrome has flash preinstalled.
For firefox and other browsers Extract the file you downloaded and place the file into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
or just use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer -y
