But is it flash ??

Have you got Real Player installed? - it crashed Firefox for me!

I replaced Real Player with mplayer and mplayer-plugin and have the following
setup with no nspluginwrapper

tarifa plugins 1004# rpm -qa|grep -i wrapper
tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-52.fc9.x86_64
tcp_wrappers-7.6-52.fc9.x86_64
tarifa plugins 1005# 


The vlc plugin is currently disabled in Firefox

tarifa ~ 1001# cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
tarifa plugins 1002# ls -l

I compiled the mplayer-plugins as I couldn't find an rpm

This is the best media setup I have ever had with Fedora !!
(For what I usually am interested in)
