I had some troubles installing the Adobe Flash plugin in Firefox. "The normal way" (working through the Firefox browser) failed in an error: adobe-flashplugin is virtual. The solution is:

  • $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install flashplugin64-installer
  • Restart Firefox and enjoy your new Adobe Flash Player! :-)
