Sorry, I forgot to mention that for 
firefox you want to make a symbolic 
link from

 /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so

to

/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

and from

/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt

to

/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

post :)
