If installer doesn't work correctly, only Adobe (owner of Flash) can do
something about the it. Flash is external closed source plugin and
developers of Firefox have no control over it.

But I've never had a problem when Installing Flash so I assume there has
been something broken on your system before you tried installing it or
there were some other problems, unrelated to Firefox. So bug report to
them might not help either.

As well as looking at references from other posters you could also try this
link. This site is as official as firefox plugin support gets!

What I posted above is how to install it when firefox can't install it.
But the link is one I don't have.
