Same thing happened to me. It appears that xorg 6.8.0 breaks gplflash.
Try unemerging it, then emerging netscape-flash. If that doesn't work,
try unemerging firefox, then reemerging it (using the source version,
not the binary). I ended up having to do all of that to get it to work
again.

Grownups are reluctant to take science fiction seriously, and with good
reason: sci-fi is a hormonal activity, not a literary one. Its traditional
concerns are all pubescent. Secondary sexual characteristics are everywhere,
disguised. Aliens have tentacles. Telepathy allows you to have sex without
any nasty inconvenience of touching. Womblike spaceships provide balanced
meals. No one ever has to grow old -- body parts are replaceable, like
Job's daughters, and if you're lucky you can become a robot. As for the
adult world, it's simply not there; political systems tend to be naively
authoritarian (there are more lords in science fiction than on public
television) and are often ruled by young boys on quests. The most popular
sci-fi book in years, Frank Herbert's Dune, sold millions of copies by
combining all these themes: it ends with its adolescent hero conquering the
universe while straddling a giant worm.

I had something very similar a couple of days ago, if not exactly the
same. Using the revdev-rebuild fixed it.

Ciao!

I met the same problem with mozilla and filled a bug, see

I found a solution for mozilla, so it should be the same for firefox too ...
I was thinking the problem is in xorg or mozilla, because it appears
just after upgrading to xorg, but it seems to be a problem with KDE,
since this SOLVED it for me:

stop KDE/xorg
mkdir backup
mv ~.kde* backup
mv Desktop backup
startx
start mozilla
