Works for me. One thing though: have you tried restarting firefox?
Like Richard described earlier, a lot of legacy software
ahem*flash*ahem use the OSS compatibility layer of ALSA, which
sometimes results in blocking of resources between softwares. For
example: if I start a phone call in skype, it locks up /dev/dsp and if
an instance of Firefox is running at that time, any subsequent
windows/tabs opened in Firefox would get sound on any flash movie. If
I restart firefox, it works again.
But I really don't know what the problem is on your end.

the nsplugin flag applies not to firefox, but to programs that can
plug-into firefox, like java, acroread, and such.
