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!).  :-)
