Thanks everybody. Problem solved.

When I use the installer from flash, I get the followjng error:

vu at ef:~/downloads/flash/install_flash_player_7_linux> ./flashplayer-installer

ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
 Macromedia Flash Player installer.

But then I manually copy the .so file into the plugin directory of
Firefox, then it works. Like you said, my firefox is really 32-bit, and
it works with the 32-bit flash. Just the installer thought my firefox is
64-bit because of my platform.

Thanks again,

Vu
