This seems to be a general problem with a general fix:

Would you like to update LinHES's firefox package to add this pre-launch script so that 'firefox' runs the flash fix and then firefox?

That sounds like a good plan. rename firefox to firefox.bin and then make firefox a script that sets LD_PRELOAD and then runs firefox.bin
When I tried it, I didnt have the flash plugin installed. I think we should also make the flash plugin part of the firefox package.
Is there a location to install plugins other than ~/.mozilla/plugins to make a given plugin available to all users? Otherwise I can forsee problems with updrades that restore the contents of the home directories.

plugin made part of package and installed in /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/plugins
script created with LD_PRELOAD
synching changes now.
