I'm running Firfox 3 Beta2 on OpenSuse x64 with no problems.
Make sure there is a symlink from
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
In your brower put "about:plugins" in the address and see what you are
loading.
(the above path's are specific to Suse so find where your flash is
installed and put a link to it in the firefox plugin directory.)
