"An alpha version of 64-bit Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux operating systems was released on 11/17/2008 and is available for download. This offers easier, native installation on 64-bit Linux distributions and removes the need for 32-bit emulation." The pre-release can be downloaded from Adobe Lab Downloads.

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.
The good news, though, is that since Adobe cares about x86-64 for Windows and Mac, they'll be highly motivated to fix any bugs found, and many of the bugs will be platform-independent.

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.

I don't mean to be snide, but isn't that par for the course for the majority of FOSS software?
