I solved that for Firefox 35.x.
I added some symlinks to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins
Here is the list of symlinks:
[drlove@kanc ~]$ cd $HOME/.mozilla/plugins
[drlove@kanc plugins]$ readlink -f *
/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-cone-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-mully-plugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
I have not made java work though, but I have 31.x for that if necessary
