What flashplugin and wrapper do you use? If you use
linux-flashplugin-7.0r69 with nspluginwrapper (you probably do, with
native Firefox), you might need the following after Xorg upgrade:

  %ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins

That works for me. Before that you can of course consider to re-create
nspluginwrapper's files, like this:

  %nspluginwrapper -v -a -r      (remove old wrapper files)
  %nspluginwrapper -v -a -i      (install all available plugins)

Then check with about:plugins if all of them are recognised by Firefox.
