Here's how I did it:
1) Download the latest 64-bit flash plugin from:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
Note that this is still in RC status...
2) Unpack the .tar.gz file and place a copy of the .so file in:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins (do this as root)
3) As root, run the command:
mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v
You're finished!
Flash should then show up in Firefox about:plugins
Works like a champ on all of my 64-bit F11 systems.
Cheers
Chris
