The problem turns out that libflashplayer.so (Version 10.x) is looking for dynamically loading libcurl.so.3 or libcurl.so.4. This dependency is neither documented, nor present in the flash-plugin RPMs from Adobe (both 32- and 64-bit). The dependency probably should also be present in the firefox RPM itself.
I found out by chance when the problem went away after installing the curl.i386 package to get firefox building on my system.
Cheers
Martin
