Solution 1
Remove your old flash plugin using the following command

--purge
Install the flash plugin using the following command

and restart browser works fine.
Solution 2
Your system may be using one of the open-source plugins (gnash or swfdec), which unfortunately don’t work very well compared to Adobe’s closed-source version.
sudo apt-get remove
--purge swfdec-mozilla swfdec-gnome mozilla-plugin-gnash gnash
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Solution 3
This could be an issue with compiz. Can be fixed by installing compizconfig-settings-manager using the following command
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Afterwards, go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager
Click on General Options. Uncheck Undirect Full Screen Windows
Solution 4
Download flash player from here
Extract using the following command
tar -xzvf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Thank you! swfdec needs more work.
thanks a lot, very first method worked
Hi - I find I have to copy the libflashplayer.so into the mozilla plugins directory before each time I start firefox otherwise flash does not work in the browser. There must be something else amiss in my settings or packages. Any ideas on where I can look to fix it?
Brilliant, I liked the name gnash, so decided to install it as my flash plug-in. Solution 2 sorted it out. Thanks
I’m a newbie, what does -- stand for? and is there any chance for a screenshot?
thank you in advance
Thanks for the walkthroughs. #2 got me all fixed up thanks to a prev install of gnash.

Thanks, solution 2 worked for me!
