Cannot Install Flash
I have trying to install Flash player on my new computer and I cannot figure out how to do it. After reading a bunch, I know that I need to put libflashplayer.so in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder, but whenever I try it I get an error. All that the it says is "Error moving file: Permission denied". I am an administrator, so how cannot have permission. If it matters, my computer runs Linux.

Note that you can also create a plugins folder in the parent location of the profile folders (~/.mozilla/plugins) and place a symlink to the Flash file in that folder.

"create a plugins folder in the parent location of the profile folders" How do I do this?
The Firefox profile folder is in "~/.mozilla/firefox/" in your home directory. You can create "~/.mozilla/plugins/" and place a symlink to the Flash plugin in this plugins folder. Then the Flash plugin stays in its install location and can be updated normally.
Hurray! It works now. Thank you for the help.
