Ah sorry, flashplugin-firefox is the GPLed flash clone. This didn't work at 
all for me when I tried it earlier in the year, typically cpu usage would go 
up to 100%, and most of the time it would crash.

The genuine Macromedia version for Linux is reliable, but it relies on your 
installing linux emulation, and being comfortable with installing a 
third-party binary.
