I've tried downloading the 64-bit plugin from Adobe, but I can't get it to
work. It took me ages to get it to work on Karmic (and I'm damned if I can
find the how-to that eventually worked for me).

Firefox simply exits if I try to load a page with flash on it. Chromium is a
bit more polite - it will load the page, but it tells me that the plugin has
crashed.

Flash was installed already (I'm assuming that it was the 32-bit version. It
worked with some flash pages, but not with BBC iPlayer (or YouTube, IIRC),
but I removed this prior to installing the 64-bit version.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Gus
