As per the message, the path is /usr/lib/firefox

/usr/bin contains the executable, /usr/lib contains the program files and plugin directory.

Cool WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path. Firefox 3

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1

After many trials-and-errors , I finally found it :
(quote)
Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1

----------- Install Action Summary -----------

Adobe Flash Player 9 will be installed in the following directory:

Browser installation directory = /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1

Proceed with the installation? (y/n/q): y

Installation complete.


Perform another installation? (y/n): n


Please log out of this session and log in for the changes to take effect.


The Adobe Flash Player installation is complete.

Smile type path as /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8

ur path name will be like this /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8.
the number followed by mozilla is the version of ur browser. it is located in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8. by typing the path u can install the flash player installer into ur browser.
