Flash Debugger on 64 bit Linux

One of the main issues for flex developers with migrating to a 64bit environment is the lack of a debug version of the flash player. After scouring forums and blog posts on workarounds, I came up with something that is working great for me. I installed Firefox (Win32) via Wine and installed the flash debugger on it.  I then setup my 32bit Eclipse (where FlexBuilder A5 is installed) so that this Win32 Firefox was my default browser. (Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser) Now I can Run or Debug my flex apps just like before and have my browser and debugging load up without skipping a beat.

Download Firefox (All releases)
