You have the 32-bit version of the Flash Player installed on a 64-bit system. 64-bit Firefox cannot use 32-bit NPAPI plugins. This might have happened if you downloaded the "adobe-release" RPM on a 32-bit system or you used an old download from a different system. To fix this, remove the "adobe-release-i386" and "flash-plugin" packages with yum: `yum remove adobe-release-i386 flash-plugin`. Then visit the Adobe website at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer on the computer you intend to install it on. Make sure the Operating System information at the top reads "Linux 64-bit", and then select the YUM rpm option, which will download an "adobe-release-x86_64" RPM as opposed to the "adobe-release-i386" RPM you used previously. Install it, then run `yum install flash-plugin` and everything should work fine. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
