Downloaded and extracted flashplayer for F12 64 bit Firefox, I go to terminal and cd directory to my downloads dir and see libflashplayer.so file, but I do not know how to move it to mozilla plugins directory.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
is mine...

mv sourcefile destination
The mv command can be used to move and/or rename files. Type "man mv" without the quote marks to see all of the options and ways that mv can be used.

Another point, to move to the mozilla plugins directory you will need root privileges. So first open a terminal and switch to root and then move the file like this,
$ su Password:<here you enter the root password> # mv /path/to/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
I would however recommend you try the packaged rpm for 64 bit flash posted on fedoraforum. Someone posted a link to the thread a few days back.

I generally prefer to install the plugins in my home directory. It survives updates better and you can update them via Firefox mechanisms.
Thanks your suggestion worked smoothly
