In response to growing demand from open source users, Adobe will today release a 64-bit version of its Flash 10 player for Linux. The 64-bit version will be an alpha release and will be followed by versions for other platforms at a later date.

[Yes, you read that right. 64-bit Flash for Linux first. 64-bit Windows will follow "someday" :-) - Sander]

Installed it on three computers early this morning and it seems to be working great! I haven't seen the problems experienced using the 32 bit version and nsplugwrapper with Firefox.

I'll have to give it a try. I've just been using the 32 bit binary download of FF with the 32 bit flash plugin to avoid issue. hehe.

It's made life easier for me. My wife continually complained about going to news sites....watching a video, then switching to another video, only to have to close and restart Firefox before she could see the next video. The problem is now gone and there is no need to go through that exercise. I'm happy just with that! Seems to be faster and less resource hungry, as well.
