Adobe fixed a bug I was tracking and released an update to their 64bit native flash for Linux. I've updated the code located on a very useful post to give you this bash script. Open up your favorite text editor and paste the contents below. Save the file and (from the command line) use chmod +x to make it executable. After that, execute the file with: ./yourfilename
You can now restart firefox.

# now doing some cleaning up:
sudo rm -rf libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -rf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Truth of the matter is that the this version of flash still doesn't work, I'm sure it works better for some applications and is more secure. But as I type this I still can't play the song I want to hear on imeem.com.
