Update Flash In Ubuntu Precise Pangolin ( 12.04.2 LTS ) For Mozilla Firefox

Installing using the plugin tar.gz:

 - Unpack the plugin tar.gz and copy the files to the appropriate location. 

 - Save the plugin tar.gz locally and note the location the file was saved to

 - Launch terminal and change directories to the location the file was saved to.

 - Unpack the tar.gz file.  Once unpacked you will see the following:
        + libflashplayer.so
        + /usr

 - Identify the location of the browser plugins directory, based on your Linux  distribution and Firefox version ( For Me as below )

 - Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory.  At the prompt type:
        + cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

  - Copy the Flash Player Local Settings configurations files to the /usr directory.

At the prompt type:
        + sudo cp -r usr/* /usr


*p/s :- make sure you close your browse before updating.Just on a safe side :)
