Yeah, I'm planning on doing a "provides" later to see where it comes
from. That may give a clue as to why it doesn't work now.

You mean for flash player, not shockwave, right?
At my age, only two brain cells function simultaneously! ;-) So of
course I don't remember!
But I do recall that during our lengthy pursuit of similar problems some
folks made suggestions. I suspect that the wrapper is the bit that's
needed.
I've hit the archives and found this. I don't know enough to say if it
is needed. But the suggestion was from the RH triage person (Matej -
suddenly dropped off the thread).

The only other think I can think of is to gointo the place in FF where
you manage add-ons and look in the applications area to see that the
flash reader is referenced.
I'm going to start there for the shockwave thingy.
