You'll probably find that you need to create links from Firefox to the 
Flash-plugin.

ln 
-s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

ln 
-s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt /usr/local/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt

You'll probably have to change the Firefox path on the link, as mine on FC2 is 
in /usr/local.
