But then the proprietary flash player on Firefox crashed on a lot of stuff - so much so that I was forced to uninstall it because it made browsing a very painful experience.

I'm running a clean amd64 environment - no proprietary flash player at all, no crashes. Lucky me ;-) In fact, I use swfdec - which, although doesn't render all flash animations and sometimes saturates the CPU usage, so far has never crashed firefox.

Incidentally, I tried to compile Gnash (the latest snapshot some time after the announcement) for amd64, and it failed due to trying to cast a pointer to integer.

Ah well, it's not as if it's a release. I'm sure it'll get fixed.
