All you need to do is copy flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so from the download to /usr/local/firefox/plugins. Then type about:plugins in the firefox addressbar to check if there installed. It's all in the macromedia readme text.

Thanks,Kerry,but I'm a real noob as far as linux goes, I get: cp: cannot create regular file ` /usr/local/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt' : Permission denied
