I believe the firefox-bin-flash package only works with the
firefox-bin package (as opposed to the firefox package).  The
firefox-bin package will install a linux binary of firefox which is
compatible with the linux binary of Macromedia's flash plug-in.

If you are using the firefox package compiled from source the flash
plug-in won't work.

That said, I'm not currently running firefox on my NetBSD machine and
so I'm not sure I've got this right.  There appears to be very little
information regarding the firefox-bin-* packages and the reasons why
someone might choose the firefox-bin package over the firefox one.
