    No.

    It's not a Minefield problem, Adobe has not yet added support for 64-bit in their Flash player, unfortunately.

    They don't have a native 64 bit version of flash because Adobe is being lazy.

    Did you download the 64 bit version of firefox/minefield or 32 bit version. If you download 32 bit version you shouldn't have any issues (unless you have already).

    You're missing the point. It is not Minefield that's the issue, it's Adobe's Flash player which cannot support playback on 64-bit browser. Minefield32 is the same as just downloading FF, so there's really no point.
