Confirmed on my system. Running F12 x86_64 with FF 3.6.2 (latest from
Remi's repository). Uninstalling nspluginwrapper allows the Flash object
on Fox News Website to play without issue.

Command to uninstall nspluginwrapper is:
rpm -e nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-10.fc12.x86_64

Re-installing nspluginwrapper causes the 64-bit Flash player to fail.

I suggest we open a BZ against the 64-bit version of nspluginwrapper as
it is attempting to "wrap" 64-bit plugins such as Flash-64 in a way that
is causing them to fail when called with certain scripts. This also
might point to why the 32-bit Adobe Reader plugin fails to load in F12
x86_64...

Cheers,

Chris
