I believe I successfully untarred the libflashplayer.so file. I copied it to the mozilla, epiphany, and iceweasel plugins directories successfully as far as I can tell. See below. When I go to a flash test page like http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ I am told I need to download the flash plugin. Did I do something wrong?
