This thread’s answers were correct for 2011–2012 (for example ’s architecture note, ’s manual-download idea and ’s Software Center tip), but two big facts make that old advice risky today: Adobe officially retired Flash on December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash from running shortly after, and Ubuntu 10 (Lucid) is long out of support. Running an EOL OS with an EOL browser plugin is an unresolved security hole. (adobe.com)

If the goal is simply “watch YouTube or modern video”, use a current browser on a supported release — YouTube and most sites now use HTML5 video and do not need Flash. If the goal is to run archived SWF content, prefer an emulator (Ruffle) or an isolated, offline VM rather than installing obsolete Flash system-wide. For businesses that truly must keep legacy Flash apps, Adobe directed enterprise customers to HARMAN for commercial support after EOL. (ruffle.rs)

For historical completeness: the supported, less-risky approaches on Ubuntu used to be enabling Canonical partner or multiverse repositories and installing the distro’s Flash packages (adobe-flashplugin / flashplugin-installer) so updates came through APT; that avoided manual unpack-and-dpkg hacks. Even so, on modern systems most browsers refuse to run Flash. If someone still tries manual installs, beware—Adobe removed official downloads and warns against third-party copies. (wiki.ubuntu.com)

Troubleshooting notes that still apply in old installs: restart the browser after any plugin change, check the browser’s plugin/add-ons page to see if Flash is detected or blocked, and confirm whether the site really needs Flash or has an HTML5 option. Firefox and other major browsers removed practical Flash support in early 2021, so upgrading the OS/browser or using an emulator is the safest path. (support.mozilla.org)

Summary: for a modern, secure outcome, upgrade the OS/browser or use Ruffle/VMs — do not install legacy Flash on a connected, unsupported system.

There are 32-bit and 64-bit Adobe flash players available for Linux. Which you use depends upon the browser you have installed. On a 64-bit system, you can have a 32-bit Firefox installed, which would require a 32-bit plugin. A 64-bit version of FF or Chrome would require a 64-bit plugin. FWIW, I run a 64-bit Linux OS (RHEL 6.1 clone) and Chrome browser w/ 64-bit Adobe Flash plugin. It works fine for me.
