Flash can be autoinstalled by going to
Apps>Net>Browsers>Get Firefox Flash Plugin
if that hasn't changed.

I went to addons.mozilla.org and downloaded the most recent flash today.  Untarred it, ran the installer and worked fine.

Don't see the Get Firefox Flash Plugin anywhere now in the menu.  I know I have installed it before automatically but didn't see that option anywhere today and going to the mozilla site didn't show any automated procedure but the download and install was quite painless.

Download the flash installer:

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get.....tar.gz

open a terminal and cd to the location of the file (if you installed it in /home/dsl you should already be there).  Type the following

tar -xzf install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz

then type

cd install_flash_player_7_linux
./flashplayer-installer

Follow the instructions and when you are done it should be installed.  Open firefox and in the address window type:

about:plugins

and the installed plugins will be listed.
