I know this question is asked many times, I myself has asked this for Fedora 10. Now i have newly installed Debian Lenny 64 bit and having the same problem.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/product...nux&lang=en-US, It didnt say it is a 64 bit or 32 bit . But when i take "Help -> About Mozilla firefox" from the firefox browser, it says i686(x86_64) , so is it a 32 bit or 64 bit firefox ?
The link you have posted is for the 32 bit version.
I thought you were trying to install the 64bit flashplugin on a 64bit browser?
Can you copy and paste the exact output from about firefox?
Ok Peeths, you need to help me out here as i'm confused as to where you are right now:

ia32-libs-libnss3 solved the issue
So then why:

I downloaded the firefox from the below link
Did you know that Debian has an unbranded version of FF in it's repositories,called Iceweasel?.
Is Iceweasel installed currently also?
You need to decide which version you want to use.
Here are some options:
1,Use the downloaded 32bit browser and appropriate plugin.
2,Use the 64bit version of Iceweasel and the native 64bit plugin.
3,Use the 64bit version of Iceweasel with the 32bit plugin with nspluginwrapper.
Post back what you have installed and which option you prefer.
Personally i find option 2 works well for me,but it's your machine so it's your call.
Is for x86 only.
And yes,the jpeg you have attached does say x86_64 after i686.
I am guessing this is because you can run the x86 version on a x64 system,as i posted earlier.
So to my mind you are now trying to install the x64 plugin into the x86 browser!!.
So don't be surprised if it does not work.
However there is a test x64 version in the FF nightly builds:
The link for the firefox is not a stable version i guess , its under testing . Well i will wait for the stable version of 64bit firefox , thanks for the link , I can keep checking for the updates and releases. This link was unknows to me .
