Due to the really really old version number (18 is the latest Flash overall, and 11 is the last supported Firefox plugin version available for Linux), and other security concerns, Firefox automatically disables these 'old' versions. They no longer produce any 'new' Flash releases for Linux and the way Firefox handles plugins.
