So let's start (debian tested )

Make A Files With Mime Type

touch ~/.mime.types

echo "application/x-shockwave-flash       swf swfl" > ~/.mime.types

Setup Firefox & Change XML File

In firefox headover to "about:config" and disable "plugins.http_https_only", just do a double click so that the value is false.

Then open /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml

Find following text:
<mime-type type="application\/vnd.adobe.flash.movie">

And replace it with :
<mime-type type="application\/x-shockwave-flash">

Note: You need superuser permission so use sudo

Update mime database:

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Install Flashplayer

Before we begin, make sure you create the directory flashplayer so that you don't face any error.

Download Flashplayer from here :

Adobe Flash Player End of Life

Adobe Flash Player End of Life general information

get.adobe.com

Make flashplayer directory & copy file to it:

mkdir flashplayer

mv flash_player_npapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz flashplayer/; cd flashplayer

Untar the file:

tar xfv flash_player_npapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz

For the following command make sure you don't change directory and you must be in the "flashplayer" directory which you have created type "ls" to see files. there must be a folder called "usr" that's perfect so let's start:

sudo cp -R usr/bin/flash-player-properties /usr/bin/flash-player-properties

sudo cp -R usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so /usr/lib/kd4/kcm_adob_flash_player.so

sudo cp -R usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_adob_flash_player.so /usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_adob_flash_player.so

sudo cp -R usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop /usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop

sudo cp -R usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/flash-player-properties.png  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/flash-player-properties.png  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/flash-player-properties.png  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/flash-player-properties.png  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/flash-player-properties.png  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop

sudo cp -R usr/share/pixmaps/flash-player-properties.png /usr/share/pixmaps/flash-player-properties.png

sudo cp -R libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

And please make sure you have installed the firefox browser otherwise it won't work.
