It would be illegal for PortableApps.com to redistribute Flash because it's owned by Adobe and the license does not allow repackaging/redistribution.
The good news is you can do it yourself.
1. Install Flash to a computer under your control. The Firefox version, if they still separate them.
2. Do a search for NPSWF32.DLL.
3. Copy it to X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins where X is the drive letter of your flash drive.
4. Restart Firefox Portable, if it's running. Voila. You now have Flash. Also, if the folder NPSWF32.DLL is in has other files, take them too. I have 11 files, 25MB worth in my folder. NPSWF32.DLL is only 3.59MB.
BTW, next time, please use the search bar.
Many people (including me when I first got here) have asked this before.
And if what Nathan said doesn't work for you... Tim Clark was kind enough to find probably the simplest solution.

The problem with search is that it lists questions before it lists solutions. A solution would have happened months ago, and we all point to that, but since then, people ask, and those questions come up ahead of the solution in the search. They need a Drupal module, I guess, that allows JTH and other trusted forum members (e.g. Tim Clark, Chris Morgan, et al) to be able to "star" topics as "important" and then have these come up first in search results.
Besides, it's the nature of a message board to ask. Searching is inefficient because, as I said, so many people are asking. A site, or more complex forum/CMS, is more befitting search. For the latter, for example it could be set up to where, as you type, "suggested topics" appear in a box. These would, as I said, list topics with a higher rating first, so as you go to make a topic about Flash and Firefox, and it suggests the topic where it was asked and answered, or a sticky by an admin, even the laziest person's probably gonna at least click on it and see what it says. I would.
The cool thing about my method is that if you have anything else besides Flash, like Shockwave, Silverlight, Adobe Air, Quicktime, or others, they'll all be there too, in that plugins folder, and you can just take them all on the go. His method might be simpler, but not by much, and mine's more complete, by a whole heck of a lot. Either works, though.
By definition, working with the public means hearing the same question over and over again. It creates a lot less traffic when someone just answers the question.
