Agreed, I have had various minor complications concerning flash 
compatibility across different versions of flash/firefox.  I can't think 
of a time where it wasn't a matter of a simple version update to 
resolve. Flash 8 was a big sticking point in particular, since it's 
release lagged behind windows.  Linux seems to be caught up now and 
Adobe appears to be pouring resources into linux development...imho this 
is all much better than dealing with quicktime.

Before you get into recompiling things/adding flags, I'd suggest 
downloading flash 9 and trying it out - if you haven't already.
