Can you first see if you have this link:

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 9 00:15 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

Ah ha!  Nope.  Not there.

And then do (as root):

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup

And check if the link is still there ?

The link is there *after* I run that setup.
   $ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 13 10:46
   /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ->
   /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
   $ ls -l /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10017140 Oct  4 23:15
   /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

Yay. Well, sort of.
When I go to:

   http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

Firefox still puts up the "Click here to download plugin." graphic/links for Shockwave and "regular" flash.

I am not sure what happened and I have experienced this myself. However I use the scripts from Red Hat so I prefer not to touch them even if they fail to do what they should.

I guess the problem is that it does an upgrade, while instead it should probably do an install coming from the previous flash-plugin that did not have this script...

Other thoughts?  Still not working for me, even after I restarted FF.

Thanks,
