Just tested the above procedure on Natty 64 running on VMware.

Created /home/$/.mozilla/plugins

Went to:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html

Extracted "Adobe Flash Player "Square" Preview Release" on it.

Restarted Firefox 4.0b11

@http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

"You have version 10,3,162,29 installed"

It works.
