It works differently in Windows as Windows is a completely different OS with different support. Can you give the output of:
lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf'
Thanks

By the way i found the ati control panel and enabled the antitearing and everything works just fine !
But the problem is that i will install into my desktop a better graphics card geforce gts 250 and i'm afraid it will have tearing too even if its a good card , what can i do to stop tearing if i have ?
Also try to check this video and watch the first two mins and tell me if you have tearing i no longer have thanks to ATI control panel. :-)

sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-
Will tidy up nicely. The 64bit for your 64bit OS is a great choice
Nvidia LOVE linux, their drivers have been phenominal the last 10 years I've been using Linux and it's all I buy. ATi have only just started coding for linux in the last 3 / 4 years. You should also uninstall the proprietary ati driver if you are replacing the card so it doesn't get the OS mixed up, same as you would in Windows
While I agree with actionparsnip that purging all files associated with the package flashplugin-
