I had to symlink the plugins:

from  /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt 
to /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/flashplayer.xpt

from /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so
to /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so

In your case they're probably in linux-flashplugin7
