You can tell whether hardware acceleration is enabled by seeing if the CPU load is mostly on the Firefox or Xorg process.

Flash won't use hardware acceleration if a compositing window manager is active. Even after killing it, I'm fairly sure the newest 64-bit Flash alpha doesn't use acceleration on my 7900 GS or GTX 260.
