Create a symlink to make firefox see the flash:

ln -s  /usr/lib/<directory flash plugin was installed/name of 
plugin> /home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox/plugins

My syntax might be wrong. It's been a while since I've created a symlink, but 
it's an easy way to fix the problem.

Just google the word "creating a symlink"
