Getting Flash to work with Firefox on OpenSolaris was fairly simple.

NOTE – this installs the plugin for all users.

1. First, download the Flash plugin package from Adobe – Adobe Flash Player.
2. I prefer to unzip anything I’m about to install to /usr/src
   cd /usr/src
3. Unpack the plugin
   sudo tar zxvf /path/to/flash_player_10_solaris_x86.tar.bz2
4. Find the Firefox plugins directory
   find / -name plugins
5. Copy the Flash library to that directory
   sudo cp flash_player_10_solaris_r45_2_x86/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
6. Restart Firefox, and verify that Flash works.
