64 bit flash preview

Adobe is back with 64 bit flash for Linux. This is a preview and grab it before they close it again. Last time when they had tried this, there were a number of security issues and preview was pulled down soon.

Installation:

  1. Download the preview version from Adobe labs site
  2. Untar the downloaded plugin 
  3. Copy the resulting plugin to your firefox plugin folder
    1. I had to first create this: mkdir /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/plugins
    2. Copy libflashplayer.so to that folder
  4. Just re-start firefox and you are ready to browse the flash sites :)
Download link

(Its not easy to find the link. It took me 10 minutes to find this. Though there is a get beta note on the download page, it does not take you directly here)
