Not so.
My flash plugin is in
$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 skroot root 39 Jun 25 12:36 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> 
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

Firefox does not search /usr/lib/flash-plugin/
It searches /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

However, you are free to put the plugins in your home dir path, such as

~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/
or
~/.mozilla/firefox/your-profile-name/plugins
