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.
Well, I have a fresh install of Fedora 9 and when I've accessed a WEB page requesting Adobe Flash, I followed the instructions to install it. After installation, Fire Fox plug-ins still do not register that Adobe Flash is installed. If I attempt to install it a second time, I have the message saying it is installed. I may be naive, but it seems to me that during the install (either rpm or yum) that some element did not get moved into the Fire Fox plug-in directory. Therefore, Fire Fox does not know that it exists on the system. Any help to address this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't know if this will fix your problem but have you run this script? mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v
It registers the plugins from what I have found out. I am still trying to get my flash to play on F8 on a 64 bit system. The plugin is recognized and in the about:plugins but just doesn't work. I just need time.
I ran the instruction you provided and here are the results:
It appears there is a bit of an issue.
