Default locations for Firefox are the plugins directory under
/usr/lib/firefox.<latestinstallversion> OR the plugins Directory under
$HOME/.mozilla (the difference is that (of course) the $HOME location is
only for you the other one will work for you root your spouse, whoever)

It will possibly be easiest to make a soft link to your
libflashplayer.so via: (as root)
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox.1.0.0.10/plugins/libflashplayer.so\
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

that should be all one line (without the '\')

of course you could also mv or cp the file to the other location.  Oh
and be sure to restart firefox before checking the about:plugins
