Question #77409 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77409

Jeruvy proposed the following answer:
Give this a try.
Remove any previous packages for flash you installed via synaptic.
Go to this link:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Download the .tar.gz file on this page.  I'm assuming it's saved in your '~/Desktop' directory, then
right click on the file and 'Extract here'  As of writing this file is called "libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz"
This should extract one file to your Desktop.
Open a terminal and then:

$ cd .mozilla
$ mkdir plugins

If this errors with mkdir complaining that it 'exists' that's fine, just want to make sure it's there.
Then copy the extracted file from the download into this directory ~/.mozilla/plugins/ that you just created

$ cp ~/Desktop/libflash*.so ~/.mozilla/plugins

Startup firefox and enjoy.

Soon (or currently) you should be able to install this directly from a
package manager.
