    Spotify Web Player

    Spotify web player is telling me that I need to install Flash to listen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash to no avail. If I go to YouTube, a popup appears asking if I'd like to install flash, but the video will play anyways. Not exactly sure what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm running Firefox on Kubuntu 14.04
    From "About System" under System Settings:
    KDELibs Version: 4.13.0
    Qt Version: 4.8.6
    Kernel Version: 3.13.0-24-generic
    OS Type: 64-bit

    Let me know if you need any more info.

    EDIT:

    I guess I just didn't do enough Google searching. For those with a similar problem, here's how I fixed it

    Go to the Flash Player download page at Adobe.com.
    When prompted, save the file (i.e. install_flash_player_"version"_linux."processor".t ar.gz).

    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and select Quit
    Open a Terminal window (in Gnome, click on the Applications menu, select Accessories, and then select Terminal.)
    In the Terminal window, change to the directory where you saved the file you downloaded (e.g. cd /home/user/Downloads).
    Extract libflashplayer.so from the file you downloaded with the command tar -zxvf install_flash_player_"version"_linux."processor".t ar.gz.
    As the super user, copy the extracted file, libflashplayer.so, to your Firefox installation directory's plugins sub-directory. For example, if Firefox is installed in /usr/lib/mozilla, use the command sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and then enter your super user password when prompted.
