You need to install the 32-bit versions of Mozilla/Firefox and the
customary 32-bit plug-ins, i.e. Flashplayer, Acrobat Reader,
RealPlayer 10 and JRE 1.5.0.2, to get the functionality that you
desire. This is because Macromedia (now part of Adobe), Adobe, Real,
and Sun Microsystems have not released a 64-bit version. Stanton
Finley,   http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html
, has provided instructions on how to install the 32-bit applications.
