When I emerged mozilla-firebird, the ebuild seems to have automatically
set up the flash stuff (I have the netscape-flash package installed).  
But if you already have the another flash player installed, you just want
to create a symbolic link from wherever your current flashplayer.xpt file
is to /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/plugins/flashplayer.xpt.  On my system, 
this looks like:

lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   37 Feb 23 20:57 
/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/plugins/flashplayer.xpt - 
/opt/netscape/plugins/flashplayer.xpt

I'm not sure if gplflash uses the flashplayer.xpt file or not, you'll have 
to figure that out yourself.  But if you just want to install 
netscape-flash, then you can get Firebird set up correctly buy typing (as 
root):

ln -s /opt/netscape/plugins/flashplayer.xpt \
/usr/lib/MozillaFirbird/plugins/flashplayer.xpt
