Like you can see in the error message:

ERROR: Your architecture, 'x86_64', is not supported by the

The "problem" is your processor what the message don't say is that the only "thing" that don't support your processor is the flash player installer or the flash plugin itself... try to put it there manually copy the plugin wherever it is in the folder to $firefox/plugins/

im sorry, but i dont know where i can find the folder where firefox is installed. The readme talked about /usr/local/mozilla/plugins but there is no mozilla nor firefox folder in any directory of /usr
