I was able to install wine using synaptic. I then opened the krusader file manager and found that my windows installation (on a separate partition) was linked to my linux filesystem as /mnt/win_c or possibly /mnt/windows. I went in there and was able to click on the windows firefox installation. It opened up and I was able to play sites requiring flash9, presumably using the windows flash player, as flash9 for linux hasn't been released. It seemed pretty sweet.
