Please don't do that. The Ubuntu flashplugin-nonfree is 9.0.31 which is
a security issue and is seriously outdated. The current version is
9.0.48, so please install directly using the directions that Lee provided.

See:

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-12.html
and
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ - that will tell you what
version you have installed. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and
you will see 9.0.48. The current version is available here:
