It keeps complaining could not find non-free version...... even downloaded and tried to install but keep getting this error message ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer.

My advice: Don't. My stupid Firefox crashes every time I open anything using Flash. But if you must....the link below shows you what to do: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/firefox-linux.html#install-flash

Coincidence about Windows, My External USB HDD was tick-ticking so I restarted power and I restart PC and my mozilla loses the settings and favourites Their Kbase helped me retrieve it but I have no idea what the connection between that HDD and Mozilla was

There should be no connection. The reboot may have wiped out/corrupted your Firefox bookmark settings somehow.

64 bit architecture ? Sorry Adobe Flash isn't supported for 64 bit machines for linux. The way to get around it is to either use the 32-bit version of Firefox, or use nspluginwrapper ( i haven't done it personally since I don't have a 64-bit machine, but you can look around or ask in ubuntuforums ) Also, if you have to install the 32 bit version, please install the beta version (Version 9). It's *MUCH BETTER* http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

You're using the AMD64 / Intel EM64T version of linux. What distribution are you using? If you use Ubuntu then type:

sudo aptitude install nspluginwrapper
then download the flash archive from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz type:
tar zxf NAME_OF_THE_FILE_YOU_DOWNLOADED
cd THE_NEW_DIRECTORY_WITH_FLASHPLAYER_FILES
then
cp *.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
then
nspluginwrapper -i NAME_OF_THE_FLASH_LIBRARY_FILE 

I'll edit the post for the proper file names next time I boot into Linux.

Are you using a laptop ? Try enabling subpixel-rendering for fonts (preferences->appearance->fonts)
