If you're talking about a Flash Video like on Youtube then you the Adobe 
Flash Player.  If you goto Youtube and try to play a video Firefox 3 
should have a message at the top of the window saying a plugin is needed 
and when you click install it should download and install the Flash Player.

That's what I did and it worked the first time.
