If someone knows of another flash plugin that does not have
this problem, please let me know.
I know of two other options for Flash support under FF on Linux, but both are worse than Adobe's plugin, in my experience:
* gnash: Youtube video and sound work. Many other flash sites fail.
* swfdec: Youtube video works, but I get no audio. Many other flash sites fail.
I think the problem is that neither gnash nor swfdec support Flash 10 features--I don't know whether 10 represents a new file format, or just some extensions. When the Adobe plugin is installed, FF's about:plugins page lists both Shockwave 9 and Shockwave 10 support, while it only shows 9 with gnash/swfdec.
If you want to try them, do a 'yum remove flash-plugin' and then do (for gnash) `yum install gnash gnash-plugin`, or (for swfdec) do `yum install swfdec swfdec-gtk swfdec-mozilla gstreamer-ffmpeg`. I don't know what happens when both are installed at once, you could certainly try it. Make sure to restart FF after installing a new plugin, too.
I'm running F11 x86-64, so it's a little different from your setup. Maybe you will get better results than I did. Good luck.
