I've got a libflashplayer.so
that I've downloaded beforehand, but I have no idea what to do with it.
How do I install the Flash plug-in for Firefox on Ubuntu offline?

I've been working on this for hours and finally got it to work...
Beg borrow or steal your way to the legendary libflashplayer.so
(note that this is NOT the flash installer; check out your error messages to see what it is trying to download and go get it manually)
Sudo copy the file to /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]/plugins
(or similar)
The simplest way is downloading the libflashplayer.so file from official site.
Extract the install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz file.
Make a new directory named plugins in /home/username/.mozilla directory.
Copy the libflashplayer.so file to the "plugins" directory.
Restart the browser.
There you go. You now have flash installed without any using any package manager or any compilation.
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Edit: You need to enable the partner repository for this package (archive.canonical.com
)
Edit 2: Oh, 8.04...well, there is a package avalaible in the multiverse repository which will install the flash plugin. For how to enable multiverse, please read this tutorial.
