Finally we have a native 64bit Flash 11. It is working very well, I highly recommend it.

Before installing it, make sure that previous versions of Flash and nspluginwrapper are uninstalled.

Download it from:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz
untar, copy and link  libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by doing the following in the terminal. (make sure you close Firefox first)

tar zxvf flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/

Done!

Or, alternatively (you should always read and understand scripts before running them) you can do this installation just by copying and pasting the following in the terminal:

wget https://blog.alejandrocuervo.com/downloads/flash_x64_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash_x64_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash_x64_en.sh

This script will install Native 64 Bit Flash 11 and will also remove previous versions of flash and “nspluginwrapper”
