Re: firefox flash plugin
There is no native flash-plugin for x86_64 . You can either use gnash, swfdec or you could try this.
Dont ask me what works best, I run i686.

Re: firefox flash plugin
I would suggest you use gnash. The flash player for linux is in sorry shape.
I only use it because gnash won't play facebook videos.

anything open source can be compiled for any architecture.
Gnash has worked on youtube for me.
I should switch to gnash, and use my XP vm to watch facebook videos, which I do little anyway.
Facebook is the only page I found that won't work with gnash.
