Manually installing the Flash plugin for Firefox in LinuxMint

When you encounter no Flash plug-in when browsing to the official website to download one:

http://get.adobe.com/cn/flashplayer/

The download is: install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz

Then unzip the package, and then follow the usual first look at the Readme.txt file, you can see that the extracted plug-in library is copied to the browser plug-in directory, but also to copy the USR under the system's/usr directory, the original document is as follows:
o Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory. At the prompt type:
+ CP libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation>
o Copy the Flash Player Local Settings configurations files to the/usr directory. At the prompt type:
+ sudo cp-r usr/*/usr

So now the question is how to find the directory where the browser (Firefox) stores the plugin?

The Firefox company is Mozzilla, so the directory that the library should put in is:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Copy the libflashlayer.so to the/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/,
Then copy the USR under the system to the USR directory;

Then restart Firefox to use the Flash plugin.
