The "front" and "rear" devices do not do sample rate conversion or
software mixing.

That suggestion is for programs using the OSS interface, but your
description above shows that Firefox and Flash use the ALSA interface,
so you should be able to get this to work with ALSA configuration files.
If you set an environment variable ALSA_DEVICE to 0 or 1 for each
session, the following definition in /etc/asound.conf should do what
you want:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
@func concat
strings [
"dmix:CARD=Live,DEV="
{
@func getenv
vars [ ALSA_DEVICE ]
default 0
}
]
}
}
