Flash wouldn't have been much of an issue in any case—
nspluginwrapper.  It has the nice side effect of also suppressing many
of the flash related crashes that you'd otherwise experience.

(I don't normally run flash, but I installed it (the new 64bit native
version; without using the wrapper) so I could use adobe alchemy to
port a piece of software to the flash VM.  I didn't make it through
the day before it crashed my browser. Fortunately I didn't need it any
longer… the crash reminded me to remove it. :)
