Well, the long and the short of it is that the 64 bit plugin works just fine  
for me.

You can easily check what you end up running in epiphany by right clicking  
on the flash window while it's running. If it's truly the Adobe flash  
plugin, right clicking should open a menu with very obvious contents.

If you have the Flash plugin working in Epiphany, but not in Firefox, that  
suggests to me that your Firefox install itself is unstable. Perhaps a  
conflict with other plugins you have installed.
