You need to install the 32-bit versions of Mozilla/Firefox and the customary 32-bit plug-ins, i.e. Flashplayer, Acrobat Reader, RealPlayer 10 and JRE 1.5.0.2, to get the functionality that you desire. This is because Macromedia (now part of Adobe), Adobe, Real, and Sun Microsystems have not released a 64-bit version. Stanton Finley, http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html , has provided instructions on how to install the 32-bit applications. HTH
