As Ian Collins said, Flash is dead on most platforms and OpenOffice is still 
available (even it is not officially supported) for Solaris/Illumos.

Regarding Firefox, the 10.x ESR release is in the Milan Jurik's JDS 
development publisher and the Solaris up-to-date version of this browser is 
still available on the Mozilla FTP server, in contrib directory (as Ian said).
