I use Firefox bouth in WindowsXP and in Fedora Core 5. As usual, in Windows-word no problems. In Fedora Core Firefox works otherwise well but untill recently I have not gotten  Flash Player plugin to install. I found some advice and did everything asked (a long list follows):

I know, this is Linux world, but I did not want to change back to Windows when I need Flash Playing.
