firefox is forked in Debian, and its name is iceweasel.
Do:
apt-get install iceweasel
If you want to know when and how and why... do a short search on the WWW.
For flash you need contrib and or non-free in your /etc/apt/sources list. For example:
Code:deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
