Flash stopped working with Firefox for me (centos 5.5) about 9 months ago.
If I need to visit a flash infested site I use opera -- that works nicely.

There is an RPM:
	flash-plugin-10.2.161.22-0.1.el5
available from Dag's archive -- however firefox says: 

	The SWF file caused a fatal error in the swfdecoder.
I had 'fun' setting firefox up, needing 32 wrappers in a 64 bit program.

One amusing flash home page:
