You emerge it. If it doesn't work, then it's not because it's designed not to work, but because of some problem, obviously. In that case, you might want to file a bug about it (after making sure you tried with a clean firefox profile first). For reference, my system is AMD64, with www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.3-r1, and www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.32.18 [64bit multilib -32bit] and it works without problems.
