I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying to install flash for other browsers via tar.gz I just don't know where to put the files though so it would work with the steam web browser.

    @ARUL: Not OT. The solution is not related to a `.tar.gz` file. – Kaz Wolfe Sep 09 '14 at 05:05

Simply, run the following steps:

  1. Download the file from here. You NEED to get the 32-bit version.
  2. Extract the tar file. Place it in your home folder.
  3. Run: mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/plugins. This will allow you to install Flash plugins.
  4. Run cp ~/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386/libflashplayer.so ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/plugins. This will install the flash plugin into your Steam install.
  5. Install libxt6 by sudo apt-get install libxt6:i386.
  6. ???
  7. PROFIT!
