Currently the browser does not have flash enabled, even when the Adobe
flash debian package is installed (flashplugin-nonfree).  This is
because we just switched to the new mobile browser from Firefox.  This
is a good step.  The new browser is installed in /usr/lib/midbrowser.
Firefox was installed in /usr/lib/firefox.  The flash plugin package
installs a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to the flash library.  
        Firefox searches:
                /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
                ~/.mozilla/plugins
                /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
        midbrowser searches:
                /usr/lib/midbrowser/plugins
                ~/.mozilla/plugins
                It does not yet search: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 

I talked to Carl about this and he is looking into it.

Workaround:  To get flash working in your browser in the meantime, you
just need to create a symlink to the flash library in either
/usr/lib/midbrowser/plugins, or ~/.mozilla/plugins

(in target environment or within a terminal on a running image)
$ ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/midbrowser/plugins/flashplugin
  OR
$ mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
$ ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
~/.mozilla/plugins
