As far as I could find out this is because there's not yet a 64 bit Flash plugin as you can read over here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940). I have 64 bit Xubuntu installed and it seems that if you install a 32 bit browser you can normally install Flash on the 64 bit install of Ubuntu. I didn't try this myself yet though. Adobe is developing a 64 bit version of Flash, but have no idea when this will be available.
