I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 18.04 and wanted to get adobe flash player. I tried to install the .deb file but it did not work. I tried to install .targz but don't know how to do that. I then went and followed a video which installed it but Mozilla will not recognize it. Is there any way to get the link for the .deb file to work again so I can install it the easy way?

We hand-off the package to Ubuntu (Canonical) and they add it to their package repository system, so you should be able to install it via Ubuntu's software package management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html.en for assistance.

I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html.en which also talked about adding the Canonical Partners Repository and updating it which I did. I didn't open up my laptop with ubuntu on it yet because I won't need it till monday. If that didn't work I will try your next link.

Thank you both maria and Robert Mc Dowell for helping me figure this out.

Does this one work: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-latest-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-18-04-linux/

I haven't tested these instructions, but they look correct. Essentially you need to add the Canonical Partners Repository, update the repository, and then run sudo apt-get to install flash player.
