flash-plugin installs the following file:

/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

In your firefox plugins directory, you need a symlink to this file.  In
my F8 system, I have firefox-2.0.0.10 installed.  So I can find:

/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/plugins/libflashplayer.so ->
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

(that should be on one line)

Don't forget to restart firefox after putting the symlink in place

If you already hav this file in place, then check your about:plugins
firefox window for a conflicting installed package that is grabing your
flash mime-type instead of the abode flashplayer.
