@Julián Alarcón: Great that works. I use now 3.5 RC2 from PPA and when I put:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox.sh (after DROPPED=abandoned) it works.

But why? When I check  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 I see it's a symlink to
/usr/lib/libGL.so.180.44 - and that's the same version number as my
nvidia driver.

When I check my Xorg.0.log I see this:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
	compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
	Module class: X.Org Server Extension
(II) NVIDIA GLX Module  180.44  Mon Mar 23 15:29:02 PST 2009
(II) Loading extension GLX

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so is a symlink to
libglx.so.180.44 in the same directory. Again the same version number as
my nvidia driver.

So I understand that /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.180.44
is the one that is used normally ans now for firefox 3.5 RC2 I use
/usr/lib/libGL.so.180.44. What is exactly the difference and is the
latter one providing hardware acceleration? If not, than it will be the
same workaround when people disable hardware acceleration using their
Flash settings.

Hopefully this will be fixed asap.
