Interesting. I've had the browser crash, but not upon loading any and
every flash site with the 64-bit plugin. I am running Chromium dev as
well as Sid, but other than that, I couldn't tell you. Flash does crash
my browser (actually, I've had Chromium itself reboot my system), but it
has been no more frequent or infrequent that when I was using the 32-bit
plugin.

I can only urge you to use the mozilla nightly build (called minefield) it's
working just perfect for the past few months. I've updated it regularly and
it's just perfect. The plugins I use are from adobe's site.
