You have the 32-bit version of the Flash Player installed on a

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. I finally managed to follow your in structions and it has indeed fixed
the problem viewing youtube as well as web chatting/Skype. However, although
I can watch the other person's web cam I can't get mine to work.
Anyone got any ideas? I've tried manually setting the library path before
calling firefox as per one google result but that didin't do it
