Good news: Adobe released a new 64bit Labs version yesterday. If you want to use it, you may be interested in some manual installation instructions[1] and/or a 64bit Flash installation/update script[2] for Ubuntu Linux.

Fabulous! Now if only you could tell me how to get flash to go fullscreen, I’d be much happier! Thanks!

This worked great, I was using 64 bit flash, and now that isn’t safe. So I was back to the fix/32 bit on 64 and hating life clicking to no action.

You should not use the native 64bit Flash Adobe Labs version anymore. Adobe discontinued the support for it after Version 10.0.45.2, a version which got many serious security vulnerabilities[1]. The current version is 10.1.82.76.

If you want to remove the unsupported 64bit “Labs” version and switch to the safe 32bit wrapper, have a look at [2].

Holding down the right mouse button at the same time worked for me. You can also just press the “Tab” key, which will put a yellow selection box around clickable items, then just press the “Enter” key to “click” them.

Thanks, this has worked for me. This method is especially useful now that Adobe has killed the 64bit player for Linux.
My only remark is that it wasn’t not enough to refresh the page to make it work, I had to restart Firefox.

How about a PPA for the 64-bit flash player.

This way you will get the latest update for the 64-bit version.
