An alternative if you do not want to install firefox-32 is to use nspluginwrapper which I have had good luck with available here: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ If you use the official rpm flash plug-in from adobe you will have to use the f--force option to get it to install. I recommend install the flash plugin in first and then the two nspluginwrapper rpms and you will have to install one of those before the other and I have forgotten the order now but it will spew an error message if you do it the wrong way. This works well for me under Fedora 7 and firefox-64. Peter
