I tried to copy the libflashplayer.so file into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder - but I still cannot find it in the listing of aboutlugins. I did so as /root, is that not the correct thing?

Oh, tried to remove what is installed, and do it the Adobe way.

What I get is this:

nils@nils1:~$ cd /home/nils/flash
nils@nils1:~/flash$ ls
flashplayer-installer libflashplayer.so
nils@nils1:~/flash$ sudo flashplayer-installer
[sudo] password for nils:
sudo: flashplayer-installer: command not found
nils@nils1:~/flash$

Is there anything wrong I am doing?

Re: Flash in Firefox

flashplayer-installer is a script file (#!/bin/sh),so:

sudo sh flashplayer-installer

I tried to copy the libflashplayer.so file into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder - but I still cannot find it in the listing of aboutlugins.

Did you try ~/.mozilla/plugins (/home/nilsa/.mozilla/plugins ?) ? It seems that Kubuntu/Firefox could have problems to find plugins (why - beats me):

Think I figured it out. All the plugins were in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, copied everything to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ , seems to be working..
