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.
