I installed Fedora Core 5 last night, and I can't get Flash player to
work with Firefox or Mozilla. I've tried installing it in Firefox with
both Firefox's built in installer and by the command line installer
provided by macromedia (well, adobe now). Also installed manually using
the copy command like it recommends on the mozdev website. It ain't
workin'. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

	Sure!  Try this page:

In step 5 ignore their suggestion about the menu item
help-->AboutPlugins and type 'about:blugins' in the location bar instead
if you don't see the flash player listed, you could try again, after
disabling selinux before installing it (don't know if this is still a
problem or not, but it costs little to try.)
