1. Download the plugin to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.

Download 64-bit Plugin for Linux (TAR.GZ, 3.54 MB)

 

2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.

3. Quit your browser

4. Remove all existing Adobe Flash Player installations from the system.

Open your terminal and copy and paste:

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree

5. Unpackage the file. A directory with contains libflashplayer.so will be created.

 
6. Copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Create the 'plugins' folder if it does not exist yet.
(Now admittedly this is where I got stuck...and my good friend Aubrey comes in to help me out)
Close the fileroller window.

In Thunar, move the .tar.gz file to the desktop folder and click it to open file-roller again. 

Extract and then (in Thunar again) navigate to that folder.

Copy the .so file (Right-click>copy),

navigate to ~/.mozilla/plugins (You need to see hidden files and folders - Ctrl+H - if a "plugins" folder doesn't already exist, create a new folder with that name)

then paste the .so file to that folder.

Start firefox.

I actually had to create a file called "plugins".

7. Launch your Firefox browser.

Success...now enjoy Flash Player 10 64-bit on OzOS 0.9!

Many Thanks to my good freind Tux Aubrey at cafelinux.org forums!
