Is YouTube still telling you you need to enable JavaScript?
There is no such thing as "globally enabling JavaScript", as each
browser has its own JavaScript implementation. So in that respect, what
you've done on FF is probably the correct thing to do (assuming you
didn't screw it up :-)). You would have to enable JS separately on
Chrome and Konqi, if not already enabled.
That is, unless you have NoScript installed. You said it's a fresh
install, so I assume you haven't done it explicitly, and I'm not aware
that Fedora ships Firefox with NoScript (anyone know different)?

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, but we did "enable java" and "enable

Flash 10.0.45.2 is installed, but we'll try v10.1 later. We have left
this project for the night in hopes that someone could help us by

She is using Fedora 12 x86_64 with kde4. Flash is not listed under
"about:plugins" for chrome or firefox. I also put 'libflashplayer.so'
in 4 locations that seemed
viable: "/usr/lib/", "/usr/lib64/", "/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/",
"/opt/google/chrome/plugins/'. But, this did not help.
How do we enable java or javascript globally? What's the difference?
Is there a yum package?
I'm on Arch and all i had to do was 'pacman -S flashplugin' and all
was well. But this did not work for Fedora.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I have Flash working in Firefox on Fedora 12. I can help with
Firefox.
Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Flash, and a 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox?
Is Flash listed in "about:plugins"?
