Adobe's stuff isn't FOSS, of course. If someone releases FOSS that is buggy and immature, others can fix it. Only Adobe can fix their own code.


Recent releases of Firefox now work once again with Gnash.

If you want a flash plugin for firefox 3 that: (1) is FOSS, (2) works with most sites, including Youtube, and (3) works natively in 64-bit versions, then Gnash is perhaps the FOSS alternative to Adobe that may suit you.
