Adobe Flash Player Installation Fails

Question

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. The Firefox error message says

"A plugin is needed to display this content: Adobe Flash Player Installer"

So I install it. Then it says "Installed - restart FireFox" I restart Firefox and the same error message appears.

This problem doesn't happen with Windows 7 (IE, Chrome & Firefox are fine) or my previous version of Ubuntu. Problem occurs when I access CallOfRoma.com

Can you add how you installed Flash to your question? – Jorge Castro Nov 29 '11 at 03:25 — Jorge Castro, Nov 29 '11 at 03:25

Download the following zip file and extract it

ftp://www.daba.lv/pub/MultiVide/MacroMedia/x64/install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

after extracting you will get a file name

libflashplayer.so

copy the file in

/usr/lib/firefox/browser/plugins

What is the point of downloading from some site, when this file is available at Adobe site. – Pilot6 Jun 29 '16 at 15:12
