Hi, I think it may be useful to know more on your system. For instance,
in your first email no mention was made of using 32-bit firefox on
64-bit linux. What distro are you using? In Arch, for example, which I
use, 64-bit flash works OOTB, and plays directly through pulse (once
I've properly installed pulse, of course, and set my Gnome audio to feed
through it). Any other system details may also help, what DE or lack
thereof, stuff like that.

Some examples of pages which produce differing behaviour would also be
good for the relevant experts to test out.
