Security updates are always enabled for my 64 Studio, so I already have Firefox's current version for Hardy. I'm not sure if I should add flashplugin-nonfree, because I once installed a version manually and it's working ok, but maybe not secure any more. Hm, I guess I only add a directory /home/spinymouse-sudo/.mozilla/*plugins* and copied libflashplayer.so to this directory. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Anyhow, if somebody did add the 64-bit flashplayer manually it might be important to take care about this, to avoid confusion between different versions of flashplayer: spinymouse-s...@64studio:~$ cd .mozilla spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/.mozilla$ ls appreg extensions firefox pluginreg.dat plugins spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/.mozilla$ mv plugins plugins.BAK spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/.mozilla$ ls appreg extensions firefox pluginreg.dat plugins.BAK ### now FF can't play http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/video/clips/monologue-12-10/1184085 any more ### spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/.mozilla$ sudo apt-get update [snip] spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/.mozilla$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [snip] The following extra packages will be installed: nspluginwrapper Suggested packages: libflashsupport msttcorefonts ttf-xfree86-nonfree xfs The following NEW packages will be installed: flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper [snip] Setting up 64studio (3.0~pre10~hardy1) ...

However, the version installed by the package is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree, while howtos for manually installation refer to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Thank you for the information that the package version now is ok. Cheers!
