I'm not sure where the Flash came from, probably Adobe's website. I enjoy "breaking" my system, so I often run non-fedora releases of stuff. The Mozilla version of Firefox didn't run correctly out-of-the-box on my (F11) system. To make it work I had to set the environment with "export CANBERRA_DRIVER=null" before running Firefox. I installed Firefox in my home directory (/home/john/firefox) and kept the Fedora version.
