Unable to install Macromedia Flash Player 9 as Plugin

[Happybattles]

Binary package hint: firefox

Downloaded the tar file.
Expanded it to desktop, as instructed by the adobe website.
Opened the executable text file, as the adobe website instructed.
Followed the instructions... though it saved the plugin to my personal folder and didn't allow me to change that.
Clicked Help but couldn't find the info selection about plugins...

Is there an easier way to do this? Is there something I can configure? Are the other users on my computer going to have to go through this as well?

Install the flashplugin-nonfree package from multiverse. You can accomplish this through the GNOME menu: Applications> Add/Remove... (or) System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager. (Use Adept in KDE.) Be sure to tick any checkboxes regarding third-party software before searching for "flashplugin-nonfree".

as daniel pointed out, please use the package available in multiverse or ask adobe for support ... as they are the ones that are responsible for the "official" installer.
