How to Update Flash Player Add-on on Linux Mint

It's been like a week or so the Firefox browser on Linux Mint (13, Maya) keeps deactivating the Adobe Flash Player, which is pretty annoying.  Here's a quick fix for this - remove the old package shipped by Linux Mint and get the one from Ubuntu Update Repo.

Type the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get remove mint-flashplugin-11
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Re-start your Firefox and you're good to go.
