Kubuntu 11.04, FF/Adobe Flash plugin does not install

[bhaktaneal]

Toshiba Satellite, P755 series laptop,
dual-boot w/Win7,
6GB ram
Kubuntu 11.04 64-bit
Firefox 7.0.1

For every install of Kubuntu 11.04, out of 4, I have had the same persistent and extremely frustrating Adobe Flash problem. I get the update message from Firefox, and follow the prompts to install it, but it never ever works. I never get an error message.

I have searched LQ and Kubuntu Forums for the remedy. No luck.

Please help!

Have you tried the Flash-Aid add-on for Firefox?

Give it a go...works great for me and many other folks here on KFN.

I just grabbed that. Now I am presented with message:

Flash-Aid has been successfully installed! However, flash plugin installation is not complete yet.

You need to execute the Wizard from the extension menu, added to the navigation toolbar.

What does that mean?

You should see a Flash-Aid button (red circle with a Flash logo) in your toolbar. Click it and follow the prompts.
