Ubuntu. Adobe Flash Player not working in Firefox

I did an upgrade of the Adobe Flash Player via the update manager and Flash wouldn’t work in Firefox. I got the message that the plugin was missing but when I tried to download it the message was that the plugin was already installed. A quick google found these solutions. I used the second one which worked.
