"May anyone provide a link of a web page, where flash doesn't play in Ubuntu x64, with the above setting?"
It isn't basic playing, I can see Flash *play* content on a 64-bit 10.04 setup with the steps you have outlined, but right-clicking the Flash box to bring up properties (which all works 100% ok with the 64-bit plugin) locks up Firefox. It is these other things that cause users (rightly) to complain about 64-bit Ubuntu when they think they have done the right thing by installing the official packages.
This happens to me www.afl.com.au and probably on any other site with flash content.
The Ubuntu forums have many people posting problems about using Flash on their 64-bit installs, and the usual fix (the 64-bit plugin) is now gone.
Unfortunately I now have to agree that people install 32-bit for "Daily Desktop Usage" because of this one issue which I consider (playing common web content) is certainly part of that definition for most Ubuntu users.
