Any comments on an x86_64 compatible flash plugin?

I'm currently running i386 Firefox (on an x86_64 Fedora system). This is because there are certain web sites (e.g. the Daily Show) that regretably require Flash... and Macromedia currently only has a i386 Firefox plugin.

Will x86_64 Firefox be extended to allow running i386 plugins? Is there a free software version of Flash that's worth trying?

You might want to try: NSPluginWrapper which is, a wrapper that can run 32-bit processes under your 64-bit Netscape/Mozilla (or Firefox, of course).
