After installation, Fire Fox plug-ins still do not register that Adobe Flash is installed. If I attempt to install it a second time, I have the message saying it is installed. I may be naive, but it seems to me that during the install (either rpm or yum) that some element did not get moved into the Fire Fox plug-in directory. Therefore, Fire Fox does not know that it exists on the system. Any help to address this would be appreciated. Thanks.
