Hi Folks, Update on this... I found this how to and this worked for me.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 10.04 64bit -- Firefox and Adobe flash
I tried this but im still not having any joy, downloaded gunzipped and untarred the file into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ even removed the old one. Tried BBC iplayer and on this site the play button shows but you click it and it doesnt do anything. It seems odd how some sites work and some dont. Any other things I can try?

Try making the plugin executable: chmod 755 libflashplayer.so and restart the browser. Check to see if it's registering with firefox by typing about:plugins into the location bar and looking down the list. Having said that, I gave up on it as it causes the CPU on my laptop to spin up uncontrollably and in the end I installed Flashblock to make sure it didn't run at all. s/ -- Save BBC 6 Music http://www.love6music.com My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Twitter: @sfgreenwood -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

We don't have flash in our repos at all. We have a wrapper script which goes and gets flash from the Adobe website. That is packaged in flashplugin-installer:- http://packages.ubuntu.com/flashplugin-installer Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

However, Mint is essentially a customisation of Ubuntu so compatibility is excellent.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 10.04 64bit -- Firefox and Adobe flash
Hi Folks, I can see theres a lot of info on the forums and generally on the web about getting 64-bit flash working. It seems some sites work ok for me like you tube etc. but some sites like BBc iPlayer dont seem to. I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package but Im wondering if Ive missed something?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 10.04 64bit -- Firefox and Adobe flash
Download the flash plugin here, http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html, and then copy it into your mozilla plugins folder. Although this isn't the official ubuntu way, it's the method that Adobe support, so I figure why not? This plugin also works for Chrome.
