I used to use the 64 bit Adobe flash plugin, but
when they yanked
it, I started using Gnash (version 0.8.8 in Debian Testing).
The Gnash plugin works for Youtube (one of the main valid uses
for Flash) but doesn't work with Vimeo and a couple of others.
Hmm ... does it work on this:

I think flash's days are numbered. Once HTML5 video usage gets
standardized, and perhaps even before (due to proliferation of
flash-incompatible handhelds/tablets/etc), there will be almost no
reason to be using flash for watching streaming media.
To bridge the gap, there are a variety of "compatibility layers" that
will display in HTML5, if capable, otherwise, dropping back to using
flash, such as:
