I am running an Oracle Linux 6 OS in my Virtual Box and just recognized that there is no Flash Player plugin in my local Firefox installation.
The approach seems easy: Go to the adobe site, download the flash plugin, install it and you are done. Hahaha ...
If I download the rpm installer (adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm as the time of this writing) and run "sudo yum install adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm" or "sudo rpm -i adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm", the installation seems to be successful, but I still don't have a Flash plugin in my browser.
The solution is
download the .tar.gz file from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
unzip it into some directory
copy libflashplayer.so into the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins directory
and voila ... that's it.
