Ubuntu Firefox Flash Player Install

Question

I have a 64 bit linux system (ubuntu)that will not run the flash player that I have installed. I moved it from my downloads folder into documents and extracted it hoping that it would work that way. I still see no activity when I attempt to play course material from udemy.com.  Anyone have any ideas? Possibly I have 32 but don't know it ? Feel quite positive that its 64 though.

What browser are you using?what is the name of the Flash Player file you downloaded?Flash Player is a browser plugin and needs to be installed to a location that the browser expects it to be at. Documents directory is not an expected location.On Ubuntu the best method of installing Flash Player using the Software Updater or apt-get. If you're using a supported browser go to https:/get.adobe.com/flashplayer and select the 'APT for Debian/Ubuntu' option then follow the prompts to installIf using apt-get from the terminal, use the following commands to install Flash Player: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashpluginThis will install both the NPAPI plugin for Firefox and the PPAPI plugin for Chromium-based browsers
