The link referenced doesn't exist anymore, and I think that's the page that the first document I found (unixlike_translation.txt) was a translation of. However, I've discovered what was missing. I was put symlinks in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ to the stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/ (which is now actually installed in /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/ ), when the symlinks should be in /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-firefox/plugins/ or /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/ for linux and native versions of firefox, respectively. That's a little user unfriendly, but at least everything works now (though as Michael noted originally sound on YouTube only works with the linux firefox). Hope someone else can make use of this before the steps change again...
