Yes, that's what got YouTube working. In my experimentation, I tore out every libflashplayer.so and installed the 64-bit libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/. No joy. So I backed up to square one and did a "yum reinstall flash-plugin" to restore my damage. Now, I'm
"yum reinstall flash-plugin" gives you the i386 plugin. It's not going to work with your 64 bit Firefox. I heard rumors that it might work if you also have nspluginwrapper installed, but I have no first hand evidence of that.
back to where I was after the upgrade -- no YouTube. When I bring up YT, I get a blank screen where the player should be, and if I click on one of the preview images, I get a dialog box, "Launch Application" containing "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to: [Movie Player] -- Choose an Application." At the bottom is a checkbox for "Remember my choice for rtsp links." If I go to Edit->Preferences->Applications, and scroll down to "Shockwave Flash file", the selector box offers "Use Shockwave Flash (in Firefox)" or "Use Gnash SWF Viewer (default)". Neither of those make any difference. I am mystified.
Sounds to me like you're trying to shove an i386 plugin into your 64 bit Firefox.
Not going to work.Sounds to me like you have the i386 plugin installed. Then you've thrown the x86_64 beta flash plugin at Firefox. So now Firefox has two of them. Hilarity ensues.
With your 64 bit Firefox, uninstall flash-plugin. Uninstall Adobe's yum repo rpm. It will not work. It's 32 bit only. Once the 64 bit flash is out of beta, perhaps Adobe will set up an x86-64 yum repo. But as of now, only the manually instaleld beta 64 bit plugin results in a working flash plugin in Firefox. Set Firefox to "Use Shockwave Flash" for SWF content.
I would also recommend uninstalling nspluginwrapper. Put just /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, which should be the 64 bit libflashplayer.so. I rolled my own rpm to install it, to prevent something else from clobbering it, but you can just install it manually. Make sure the permissions on the .so are correct.
