However, it is better than the one you can get from the Ubuntu repository. I absolutely understand what you feel and also hope Adobe will figure it out soon.

Just updated to latest FF, and have tried both 10.0.22.87 and 10.0.d21.1 versions of the plugin. Been crashing for me like clockwork for most flash sites for over a month or so. Really want to have a stable flash environment, but don't want to have to run 32-bit environment. Adobe, are you listening? Does this mean that you’re no longer getting crashes?

I have created a folder in my home directory called flash_plugin and put libflashplayer.so in there and then use symlinks from both Firefox and Mozilla plugins folders. This allows me to just dump updates into my home folder without needing super user rights that then magically appear system wide. There may be a security issue in doing it my way, but it is convenient. I use a slight variation on your scheme.
