Since the libflashplayer.so file was placed in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/, shouldn't the symbolic links be:
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /home/USER/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I downloaded the flash_player_npapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz from the Adobe site and I extracted the libflashplayer.so. After creating the flashplugin-nonfree folder and placing the libflashplayer.so there, the second symlink worked for me.

]]>So, if I remember correctly, I downloaded the adobe flash player from the adobe website and put the file libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ . Then I created symlinks to this location with
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplayer-plugin/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so
If that does not work, try
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplayer-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so
If that does not work, try
ln -s /usr/lib/flashplayer-plugin/libflashplayer.so /home/USER/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I apologize for not being able to give you the exact location that I symlinked to in order to make it work, but it should be one of these. I did not symlink one location at a time, but I created the symlink in Thunar and them copied it to these locations and one of them worked. I just don't know which one is the correct location. Thus, in not knowing which location was correct, I left them all in place.
Edit: removed duplicate location
