Adobe Flash Player for Linux?
Trying to install Flash for x86 it takes me to this page where I can download one of three ways, tar, rpm or YUM. Not sure which one to download they said to put it on the desktop; is one easier to work with than the other, also their directions for running the install were a bit vague, said to run
./flashplayer-installer
from the terminal but once I got there the terminal didn’t know what I was talking about. It may have done something in the background I wasn’t aware of and I may be missing a step.
Using latest version of Firefox with Ubuntu FIesty Fawn.

1) Download the .tar and put it into a directory like /tmp
2) Open a terminal and cd to that directory
3) untar the file using command: tar -xzvf filename
When you untar the file, all the other miscellaneous files you need will be created – you’ll see their filenames fly by. Do an ‘ls -la flashplayer-installer’ to make sure it.s there, and then run the installer command.
