Is this problem with flash not working on x86_64 architecture limited to
Fedora or what?
I use Ubuntu 10.04 64bit as my primary operating system and have 32bit
Flash installed with wrapper inside Firefox 4.0 beta 4 and have no
problems.
There I ask the question, what is wrong with doing the same thing in
Fedora?
