Install Flash-Aid and run the extension Wizard. Flash-Aid allows to install Flash 64bit from Adobe Labs (32bit from repos and Chrome too), it removes conflicting plugins and apply performance tweaks. Additionally, it has a plugin update checker, so you can be notified about new beta versions.

The sevenmachine ppa is the best bet to keep up-to-date with flash 64 bit. Otherwise download the tar archive for linux from here.

extract it and save the libflashplayer.so file on mozilla plugin path. Either locally or on /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin. You can copy the files mentioned inside the tar on respective places .i.e inside /usr folder avoiding the kde ones if you don't use kde
