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!). :-) -- Paul W.
