I never had tried to install Linux flash. I did install Windows flash under Firefox on Wine and it worked. I found that the freebsd port for Wine would not work but if I downloaded the source from WineHQ and compiled it would work fine, however, i tried a more recent version of Wine which did not compile right on FreeBSD, my current properly compiled wine version is, 1.1.7. You can try the most recent version of Wine and see if tht works, if not you can try 1.1.7 which worked well for me.
