browser_plugins recently moved from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/local/lib on 
6.1, not sure if it is different on 5.5, so I had to change the symlink 
for libflashplayer.so, could that be the problem? See the latest 
libmap.conf for where the real libflashplayer.so now lives as that moved 
as well.

I have a working 6.1 / Firefox 2 / Flash 7 (plus flashblock which is 
great) but I can't access it at the mo. Post again if you still can't 
get it working.
