Read the fine installation notes, which should have been printed after you 
emerged it:

Adobe has released 10.1 in only a 32-bit version and upgrading
is required to close a major security vulnerability:
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/322855

Furthermore, there are stability problems when running 10.1 in a
64-bit browser with nspluginwrapper.  The current recommended
configuration is to use a 32-bit browser such as
www-client/firefox-bin:
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/324365

[gentoo-user] Adobe Flash (10.1.53.64) Not Working

[dhk]

Adobe Flash use to work on my amd64 box, but after the last upgrade it
stopped working.  When I visit sites that use it I'm told that Adobe
Flash is not installed or to download the plugin.

In my /etc/make.conf I had to change ACCEPT_LICENSE to
ACCEPT_LICENSE="AdobeFlash-10.1" and in /etc/portage/package.keywords I
removed www-plugins/adobe-flash ~amd64 since it wasn't needed anymore.

The following is what's installed.

# emerge --search @www-plugins/adobe-flash
Searching...
[ Results for search key : www-plugins/adobe-flash ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

*  www-plugins/adobe-flash
      Latest version available: 10.1.53.64
      Latest version installed: 10.1.53.64
      Size of files: 4,643 kB
      Homepage:      http://www.adobe.com/
      Description:   Adobe Flash Player
      License:       AdobeFlash-10.1

Thanks,

Or just reinstall nsplugginwrapper and restart your FF.  That's what I did 
(search this list for thread titled: www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.53.64 won't 
play in FF & Konqueror).

HTH.
