Adobe has upgraded the prerelease/alpha version of the Native 64bit Flash for Linux, and I've updated the previous script used to install it for the new version. This upgrade is also required for the new AIR Marketplace (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.home&marketplaceid=1) to work!
Graphical instructions
Step 1: Download the script
Download and save the attached native-64bit-flash-installer.sh file onto your Desktop.
Step 2: Allow the script to run
Right-click on native-64bit-flash-installer.sh, select Properties, Permissions, and enable "Allow executing as file" (or something similar about execution).
Step 3: Run it
Open the terminal, drag the script file into it, and press enter to start the installation :) After you're done, see the Confirm Installation section.
Terminal instructions
Alternatively to the graphical instructions, running the following commands in the terminal would do:
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/84880/native-64bit-flash-installer.sh
sh ./native-64bit-flash-installer.sh
Confirm installation
Go to Tools ▸ Addons ▸ Plugins in firefox. It should say that the Shockwave Flash version is 10.0 r22. And that's it, enjoy!
PS. The flash binaries are available here (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html), if you're not comfortable with running the script.
