(1) Clean up all potential mess from previous attempts (like nspluginwrapper, 
any existing flash plugin etc...).

(2) Download the 64bit flash player from here:

  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html

(3) Unpack it, and copy the .so file in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ directory:

$ gunzip libflashpl*
$ tar xvf libflashpl*
$ su
# cp libflashpl*.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

(you need to be root to perform the copy).

(4) Restart firefox.

(5) Point it to about:plugins page and make sure that flash plugin is on the 
list.

(6) Go to www.youtube.com and try it out.

HTH, :-)
