Comment 70 for bug 158126

Chuck,

Sorry to give you the bad news, but your discovery is old news. Both Adobe
and Sun have released native 64 bit plugins that work with Jaunty (not
tested on other platforms, but don't see any reason why they would not
work).

Do some googling. A helpful poster has put some random links a few posts
above but they all seem to be 403 forbidden at this stage.

Essentially I have been running Flash 10 Alpha 64 bit and Sun Java 64 bit in
my 64 bit firefox browser on my 64 bit OS for quite some time :) So just
look around and you will find that the instructions are provided on quite a
few sites.

If you get really stuck, email me off list and I'll tell you how to do it.

Cheers
Blake
