Hi all there. I have Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and this did not work for me, but this helped me a lot. I did the same “hawk” says but in my case, the folder where firefox links is “/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.8/plugins”. So, copy your new “libflashplayer.so” in that folder too.

My final solution was:
-Paste libflashplayer.so in “/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins”
-Paste libflashplayer.so in “/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.8/plugins”

*Instead of 3.5.8, you may write your own firefox version.

Hope it works to you!! It worked for me. Thanks hawk.

right, finally got it figured out:
there was another libflashplayer.so in the folder /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ that firefox had file links to. replaced it with the new file and all is well, no more flash crashes every time I restart firefox

[...] the .so that was loaded, with the latest 64bit release from Adobe. Just follow the instructions here, but for me the folder was /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, not /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. addthis_url = [...]

(Ubuntu 9.10) Well, I set out to install “TweetDeck”, which is an Adobe Air app available via the adobe site. The Adobe site prompted for installation of the browser flashplayer plugin so I could even see the download button for TweetDeck. I poked around a bit here and there, and found that in my particular installation of 9.04, you can go to the bottom of the Applications menu, and click on Ubuntu Software Center, and look for Get Free Software, Other… it’s in there, and I had it up and running in a matter of minutes… not sure if it’s 32 or 64 bit… about:plugins reveals use of npwrapper, so I assume 32 bit…
