Adobe flash-plugin http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Please select Linux 64-bit or 32-bit.
And select a version : YUM.

Then install the downloaded repo package :
# yum localinstall adobe-release-<arch>-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Next : # yum install flash-plugin

no success with firefox, adobe, and fedora

well, no luck. i tried more than six times--including removing firefox and re-installing. since the adobe flash was a separate installation, i have no idea how to remove that!
FWIW, here are the commands used:

# yum localinstall adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Examining adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do
# yum install flash-plugin
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Package flash-plugin-11.2.202.238-release.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
