This would depend on a fix for bug 102695, I think.

I can confirm this bug. When I set a flash object within a div tag, and wmode=transparent, all navigation does not work on PC Firefox version 1.5.0.7. In all other browsers this works including PC IE6, PC Opera, Mac Safari. However, Mac Firefox has some additional issues with content just not showing up, where as Safari works fine.

I do not think we are going to fix this kind of issue. It would require significant cooperation with new NPAPI calls and vendor support, and it is relatively low importance to everyone involved at this point.
