Installing flash on 64bit Linux

I had to cave in and install flash on my Fedora computer at work today. The "right" way of doing it did not yield much results, so I had to install the development version instead.

Download the file from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html (follow the links on the right side)

Uncompress (tar -xvf filename) and move the .so file to the mozilla plugin folder. On my system it was /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

Then run
sudo mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

Restart your browser and "enjoy" flash-enabled content.
