flashplayer on Ubuntu 64 (lucid)

After weeks without getting flashplayer to work with my firefox 64 on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine, I finally found a way to solve the problem almost instantly. Just by installing google-chrome.

1 - Go to page labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html and download plugin for 64-bit linux.

2 - Uncompress the file and save libflashplayer.so anywhere in the system

3 - Go to page www.google.com/chrome/ and donwload google-chrome installer 64-bit .deb installer for Ubuntu

4 - Run the command below. Somehow, the installer managed to find the libflashplayer.so file.
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

5 - Say goodbye to firefox 64-bit.
