I've installed Firefox, nspluginwrapper and adobe-flash-10.2.161.23_pre20101117. It seems to be working. I guess it's 64-bit. My needs aren't very high. Mostly it's for listening to radio from places like NPR, etc., but I like to have Flash installed so that web sites that depend on it don't complain at me. I'll look into other flash compatible players one of these days but no time right now. Thanks for the info! Cheers, Mark
