 The problem so it appears, is flash works sometimes and sometimes
 it does not.  I think this may be because the default flash plugin is
 actually swfdec Yes, I have libflashsupport installed as well.

 Under FireFox, you can try to change the swf default under
 'Preferences' - however - I am clueless as how to override
 swfdec and force the default to be Adobe's Flash - attempts
 to try to do so only opens up a File/Directory Dialog box
 and I am clueless as to where/what directory/file needs to
 be loaded - I thought it was something of a library like:

 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

 but that does not seem to work.

 Btw: I have no problems with F8 - works like a charm and it
 does not use swfdec - but then again - that was with FF v2.0.x

don't have both installed - remove swfdec


done!


run nspluginwrapper installer...


Sorry for being dense - but I cannot run 'nspluginwrapper'
What is the command for doing that or precisely, what do I need
to do here?


mozilla-plugin-config -i

 mozilla-plugin-config -i

 Craig


Well, I tried:

1) yum update nspluginwrapper
Package nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-5.fc9.i386 already installed and latest 
version

Nothing to do

2) mozilla-plugin-config -i
NPP_GetValue()
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so: 
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0


So there seems to be a problem?

You can find complete instructions here:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Desktop.html#sn-Enabling-Flash-Plugin
 

I just rebuilt a Fedora 9 box today from scratch and can verify these
instructions are correct.  In particular, you need to use
'mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v'.

The release notes are often helpful for things that one thinks *should*
work (especially because gosh darn it, everyone wants to do... uh, that
thing!).  :-)
