I tryed the following:

[fossiili@localhost plugins]$ ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
ln: creating symbolic link
`/home/fossiili/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so' to
`/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so': Fil e exists
[fossiili@localhost plugins]$ ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt
~/.mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
ln: creating symbolic link `/home/fossiili/.mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt'
to `/usr/lib/flash-plugin/flashplayer.xpt': File exists
[fossiili@localhost plugins]$

Then I closed Firefox and started it again.  In spite of your kind help. no
Flash plugin working ...
