Comment 66 for bug 158126

I found a strange work around for this. On the Adobe website, they state that they have beta support for 64 bit linux for Flash 10. I downloaded and installed. When testing, I found my browser was still using Flash 9 with the nsplugin wrapper. The about:plugins page showed both versions running. I removed all the symlinks pointing to the nsplugin wrapper and created equivalent symlinks to the native Flash 10 library (NOT wrapped), and reloaded my browser. To my astonishment, it worked! The Adobe test page confirmed the new version of flash, as well as about:plugins and a site that required Flash 10. It looks like Adobe may have finally gotten off their butts and acknowledged 64 bit linux. Now, if only Sun would do this with the Java plugin. I've lost count of how many years we've waited on that.

You're results may vary, but maybe if a few others can confirm, it might be time for a Medibuntu package for 64 bit non-free Flash with NO nsplugin wrapper. Be prepared to rollback with Flash 9 and the nsplugin wrapper in case it doesn't work for you.
