Most of the content rich sites use flash. It is very much true that browsing becomes lame without Shockwave Flash Plugin. In addition to this, installing a Shockwave Flash Plugin sometimes become very much problematic. Here is a small trick, i used in order to install the Plugin.
- First Download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the Adobe's site
- Then extract the .deb file. You will get a file named libflashplayer.so.
- All you need to do is, move the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ directory.
sudo mv location_of_libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
- After restarting the browser, put about:config on your URL bar. You should see Shockwave Flash installed. :)
