Indications are the pluginreg.dat was potentially causing this, so it seems that under Fedora that file must be removed every time the plugin version is changed. If you really need flash: Remove all flash .rpm's you previously installed. Donwload the .tar.gz from Adobe. Copy libflashplayer.so from the archive to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Restart Firefox. You're done. Update? Just do the same as described. I had the 440 version of flash rpm installed (I originally had the 310 version installed) and downloaded the 442 version of the rpm from Adobe, which installs the plugin into /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/mozilla. As I am using the upstream nightly version of 64 bit firefox which looks for its plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins I put a link to the flash installed plugin into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and link into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins pointing at the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins link. I removed pluginreg.dat and restarted firefox but about:plugins said I still had the 310 version installed. It wasn't until I rebooted linux that firefox reflected the correct version, which is why I thought it might be the ldconfig cache.

Network-based install unreliable?
Since Red Hat 4.2, I have frequently performed network-based installs of Red Hat/Fedora. Some time around Fedora 16, installing over the network became somewhat unreliable. It seems like some days it just won't work. Generally there is some package that cannot be found or something to that effect. I have always assumed that problems with network installs occur because of inconsistencies across Fedora's mirrors. Today, I had trouble until I changed the source URL to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/... and avoided mirrorlists. I have had this trouble on two university campuses and also from home. The stange thing is that I do not see too many complaints from anyone else. Has anyone else had trouble with this?
