Thanks all. I removed the pluginsreg.dat file and paid closer attention to the firefox warnings when it starts up - the issue was that the Mozilla firefox binary is 32 bit while my system (and the version installed by the flash installer) is 64 bit. Once I downloaded the 32-bit version directly from Adobe and stuck the .so file under my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory the Mozilla firefox recognized it.
