If all Firefox related processes did not get completely knocked off by the install then you would need to ensure they did to be able to use flash, this would include Downloads and even the Preference editor

I have had problems with the Flash d/l from one of the sources, I think Natty-partner was the one that got me sorted out.

If your reason for Downloading both Firefox and Flash stem from problems due to prior usage then you might want to look at using something like Bleach
