Installing Flash player for Firefox and Chrome x86_64

The flash player available at Adobe download will not work with x86_64 bit browser. Adobe has released the 64 bit player, but it is yet in Labs!. The 64-Bit player beta version can be downloaded from Flash Player 10.1 Beta 64-Bit.

Unzip the download,

tar xvfz libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

For firefox 3.5.4, just copy the extracted file libflashplayer.so to
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ folder in Fedora 12.

For Google Chrome, create plugins folder in the directory of chrome installation, which most of cases will be /opt/google. Then copy the libflashplayer.so to plugins directory.

Now start chorme with

google-chrome --enable-plugins


Now flash content should display!
