Getting flash working with Firefox

I was on a website on Edmunds.com saying that I needed flash version 7 in
order for this chunk to work.  So, I screwed around with the linux flash
plugin, but attempting to make this work (linking all the dependent
libraries required by the linux libflashplayer.so) in the plugins directory
resulted in a bus error.

So, then I decided to try the firefox flash plugin.  The Edumunds site
didn't seem to recognize this plugin since it still said I needed version
7.

The website:

http://www.edmunds.com/il/comingsoon/index.html?tid=edmunds...globalheader..7.*

1) How do I make this work?  Should I even be attempting to use the Linux
   flash plugin?

2) Where is this documented?  I didn't see anything in the port.  I had to
   cruise all over the web just to find out where to copy the linux flash
   plugin etc in order to find out it doesn't work anyway.

Thanks,

-Clint
