Both flash and opera are available in native package format, but not from
the default repository. You'll need to set up /extra in order to install
flash -- see pkg.sun.com/register and follow the instructions there for
setting up your key and certificate. You'll then be able to run
pkg install flash
and it'll show up in a system directory, all ready to use by firefox.
Opera is available in the /contrib repository, which is a bit easier to set
up:
pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib contrib
pkg install opera
