The work around to this problem is to get this package install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz and install it via terminal.I have attached this tar package.
The following are the steps:
1.open a terminal as root and type
locate firefox-3.0.7 |grep plugins <return>
This will list two enteries
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/plugins
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/searchplugins --->remember this path EXACTLY /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7
Here the firefox version is 3.0.7 and so this line firefox-3.0.7 if it is firefox-3.x.x do accordingly after using the locate command.
if you have any doubt regarding the version of firefox,check the version from firefox menu in Help->About Mozilla Firefox and confirm the version.
2.Extract the install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz tar package and change(cd) to it from a terminal.
root@solutions-desktop:~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux# ls
flashplayer-installer libflashplayer.so
root@solutions-desktop:~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux#
