Adobe Flash not detected in Firefox

I just installed the Firefox 5 tar file from Mozilla and extracted it to /opt directory and everything loaded fine but the Adobe Flash is not seen though it is loading in the other browser.

My OS is a 64 bit Ubuntu Karmic and found out that Firefox did not use the old flash plugin so I did a little research and this is what I found...

The old plugins in my system is found in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ but the downloaded firefox does not look there instead it looks in the...
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

so I just symlinked the flash plugin from /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and it just worked!
