I have been running 64 bit flash since it was released from Adobe,
hulu and youtube have always worked fine
I run Gentoo

try compiling flash instead of using the bin
I have to recompile flash when ever firefox is updated,
maybe the browser you use doesnt match your binary for flash

I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc)
AND I RUN LINUX!!!
Linux is like ice cream. It comes in many flavors and everyone has
their favorite, but we all get the same smile regardless of which we
choose to scoop.
