--- Comment #2 from Scott Robbins <scottro11@xxxxxxxxx>  2008-11-16 14:07:32 EDT ---
As per discussion with Mads on the testing list, I did the following on an
X86_64 system.

Uninstalled firefox, opera, nspluginwrapper, libflashsupport and flash-plugin
and removed my ~/.mozilla and ~/.opera directories.

Reinstall opera and firefox, 64 bit versions.  As expected, no plugins shown.

Reinstalled flash-plugin.  At this point, opera shows flash installed and
works, including sound.  Firefox shows nothing.

Reinstalled nspluginwrapper, both i386 and x86_64.  At this point, with no
further user intervention, Firefox also shows plugin and works with sound. 

(Out of curiosity, did a yum search for libflashsupport and got the message
that there are no matching package.) 

So, the documentation should be updated to reflect that a) libflashsupport is
no longer necessary and b) that it is also no longer necessary to run
mozilla-plugin-config.  (As the section is called browsers, it might be
worthwhile adding that opera doesn't require nspluginwrapper.)
