Until this is supported via yum, you will need to do the following: 1. Download the .tar.gz version from Adobe here. 2. Use "gtar -xzvf" to extract libflashplayer.so and put it in either in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ or ~/.mozilla/plugins/. 3. Restart Firefox.

Yes, I now undertsand this is the way to do it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
