My website requires Adobe Flash Player to be installed to view images in my photo gallery. Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox support Adobe Flash Player? Will it be available in the very near future? This is an extremely important feature for my site.

Firefox can use Flash if it is on your device, although this may not always work perfectly. But Firefox never comes with Flash bundled in (I think this is due to Firefox using an open source software license).

This article has a link for installing Flash from Adobe's site: How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?.

Regarding the design of your gallery, how does it work on Apple iOS devices that can't run Flash due to Apple policies? Maybe there's a similar "fallback" technique that can work on Firefox for Android if the user hasn't installed Flash.

Mozilla does not supply any version of Flash for Android as that is by Adobe. Adobe has stopped supporting Android since 4.1 with the old vulnerable Flash 11.1 plugin.

However it is possible to still manually install the flash plugin.

Also if you are using Android 4.4+ then it has made it so the Flash plugin may not work however if you have mobile Firefox as of version 27.0 and newer you can still run Flash on Android 4.4 kitKat.
