Start by opening a terminal:
1. rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
2. yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} pulseaudio-libs.i386 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386 libcurl.i386
3. mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

Once again I make no guarantee this will work for you. Also one more point I like to make. There are so many Linux distributions that come preinstalled with Java and Flash Player (PCLinuxOS, Mint, etc). Why not use those distributions to make your life easier.

I was trying to install Java on CenOS but had a very hard time doing so. I found many tutorials but none worked. Most tutorials did not say you need to download compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33 so that made it more frustrating. This worked for me. I make no guarantee it will work for you. Be sure to switch to root for this to work and download to your /tmp folder.

Download jre-6u17-linux-i586-rpm.bin ( http://www.java.com/ )
su
yum install compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33
cd /bin
sh /tmp/jre-6u17-linux-i586-rpm.bin
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

Close and reopen Firefox.
