Hi folks.
I've followed the instructions to install the flash plugin by downloading the
YUM version and then installing the RPM. I got no errors when doing any of
this. However, flash still does not work in Firefox. If I do 'about:plugins'
it isn't listed.
Any suggestions on what to try next. All I'm getting from Google is variations
of the same instructions I've already done.

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.
