Hello, I've got a similar problem... Only I don't really care which
browser I have to use to make the flash plugin work...

The 64 bit kde version of Jaunty is installed on this Gateway laptop
(MT6451 Notebook PC) It has AMD Turion 64x2 processor and a 120 gig HD

I can watch DVD's, But I can't watch/hear streaming video/audio???? 
For example when I go to: 
http://www.937mikefm.com I can't play the live music stream. With
either opera or firefox the player window never finishes replacing the
blank white area's with player parts. If I go there with konqueror
it tells me I need to get adobe flash... But I activated Medibuntu and
installed just about everything I could find that sounded even remotely
like it might help... including kubuntu-restricted-extras which included
the adobe flash (plugin & non-free) packages. 

Anyway I followed your link to the 64bit plugin (since the stuff the
restricted-extras gave me ain't working for me...) And got the tar.gz
But since:
=> UnderTree =-> tar -tzf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
=> libflashplayer.so
=> UnderTree =->
It doesn't look like the tar.gz knows where to put the libflashplayer.so file.
And I'm sure I don't know where. (As I mentioned above, I really don't
care which browser it works in as long as it works in at least one.
But I'd like to make it work in as many of my browsers as possible so,
I guess what I'm asking is after I do the:

# apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin  flashplugin-installer --purge

1) Where do I put the libflashplayer.so file???
2) What symlinks do I need to make to get firefox to use it??
3) Are there any simlinks I can make to get opera to use it??
4) Are there any simlinks I can make to get konqueror to use it??
5) Do I need to do anything from within any of the above browsers to
   get them to use it? Like for example, in firefox Do I have to
   manually edit anything in "edit->Preferences->applications"??? 

By the way, I don't know if it matters... But I'm dealing with pulseaudio...
So, for example, before the adobe flashplayer actually delivered sound in my
Sabayon4.2 installation I had to emerge libflashsupport to add:
"pulseaudio/esd/oss audio output and HTTPS/RTMPS support to Adobe Flash 9..."
