How to install 64 bit flash player 10.3 in ubuntu to work with mozilla firefox

After installing 64 bit ubuntu , i was happy with the speed , but mozilla 4  reported no flash plugin , so after a little browsing ,found out only beta version of  64 bit flash player is available with bad installation instructions,

steps to install 64 bit flash player for linux and mozilla 4

1.Download 64 bit adobe flash player from adobe labs here
            dlDownload plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.1 MB)

2.Extract the libflashplayer.so to a temporary directory

3.copy the libflashplayer.so from that directory to 
        /usr/lib64/firefox-4.0/plugins
4. you might have to need supervisory privileges to do so , hint : use sudo

          for eg.  
                              goto /usr/lib64/firefox-4.0/plugins in terminal

                                cd /usr/lib64/firefox-4.0/plugins
        then  run

                            sudo cp ~/Downloads/libflashplayer.so .


NOTE : here   i have extracted the downloaded compressed file to ~/Downloads , change it if u downloaded to other directory.


5. finally to check it , type about:plugins

 you should see something like :


Shockwave Flash

File: libflashplayer.so
Version:
Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162
MIME Type Description Suffixes
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl





Thats it , you have installed 64 bit  flash ,Enjoy!

I am one of those guys who still have the Huaweii WA1003a Router provided by BSNL and its still working perfectly (guess a solid build) , but its nearly 7 years passed and  no new firmware update was provided , on asking for newer version of firmware in huawei forums... the reply was shocking as one of Huawei staff replied "Sorry , Quidway 1003A is a terminal product not a DATACOM router."(Source: http://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=319714&tstart=1&orderStr=9). Ok, Finally i decided to put Third party Feature Rich firmware called   RouterTech Firmware The upgrade process is a little difficult , but people who have knowledge of linux commands should handle this fairly easily. THIS UPGRADE PROCESS IS NOT FOR NOVICES AND ANY MISTAKES MAY BRICK THE ROUTER AND MAKE IT USELESS. ALSO , MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER  MEANS OF INTERNET CONNECTION LIKE MOBILE GPRS / 3G AVAILABLE  IN THE EVENT OF YOU BRICKING THE ROUTER... YOU CAN USE ...
