How did you install them to get more than one? I've not struck that problem. I installed the Flash player using the Adobe RPM, and update it with "yum update", along with everything else.

That's a question I wish I knew the answer to. I've suspected that it may have been drug along during and update but I'm certain. To the best of my recollection, however, I simply installed two versions from Adobe. I have also wondered if they changed to install location but I've spent no time investigating.
Was your system a fresh install, or did you update one version of Fedora to the next over the top? Mine was a fresh install. Over-the-top installs sometimes make a mess of things.
This machine currently has F8 and I believe it was an upgrade from 7. Previous Flash (v9) was done before there was a yum repo, I believe.
If there are two versions installed and old version is removed from the plugin files, then the new one will be "seen" and used. I just tested this out on my F9 machine.
I agree, the yum repo would be a better bet since yum will help you by replacing instead of just adding.
