Sorry for top posting but this phone doesn't allow bottom posting. I too use F17. What I did was download the rpm from adobe and used rpm to install. Flash works just fine except on cp24.com of the sites I visit that requires flash. Yum complains but still works and hasn't caused problems.

I did close Firefox and re-start; did it again just to make sure. Same result. I am not using Fedora 20. I am still running the antediluvian Fedora 17 (not having worked up the nerve to upgrade ...). Could that be the problem? Do I need to upgrade (to Fedora 18? 19? 20?) before flash will work? Why? cheers, Rolf Turner -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
