How can I install Adobe Flash Player in Epiphany Browser?

How can I install Adobe Flash Player in Epiphany Browser ?

I download Adobe Flash Player at http://get.adobe.com/cn/flashplayer/otherversions/.The download link is https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashp ... 386.tar.gz ,and I want to install the flashplayer plugin to Epiphany Browser. The system I use is Raspbian.

The Installation instructions as this:
Installing using the plugin tar.gz:
o Unpack the plugin tar.gz and copy the files to the appropriate location.
o Save the plugin tar.gz locally and note the location the file was saved to.
o Launch terminal and change directories to the location the file was saved to.
o Unpack the tar.gz file. Once unpacked you will see the following:
+ libflashplayer.so
+ /usr
o Identify the location of the browser plugins directory, based on your Linux distribution and Firefox version
o Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory. At the prompt type:
+ cp libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation>
o Copy the Flash Player Local Settings configurations files to the /usr directory. At the prompt type:
+ sudo cp -r usr/* /usr

But I don't know the BrowserPluginsLocation of Epiphany Browser, what is the directory path?

And if I do as the Installation instructions, can I successfully install the flash player plugin?

Adobe Flash Player is NOT supported on the ARM Platform, it has been obsoleted ;)

The clue is in the i386 in the title of the download file - so although it is for Linux, it is compiled for Intel/AMD processors, not the ARM chip of pi's.
