Winetricks by default installs Firefox to a separate wineprefix buried deep within ~/.local/share/wineprefixes, without telling the user that it's doing that or asking if that's where they want it. OTOH, it doesn't do that with either Shockwave or Flash; those are installed to the default wineprefix, ~/.wine, unless you specify otherwise. That's like installing them on separate computers, so it's useless for your purposes.

I know the winetricks interface is a bit daunting, but it really
does let you do what you want.

Here's a single command to install firefox3.5 with flash and shockwave
(better get a fresh winetricks first, I just added the firefox35 verb):
  sh winetricks firefox35 prefix=firefox35 flash shockwave

Think people would rather that winetricks default to installing
flash and shockwave with firefox?  That'd sure make it easier.
