This should not be difficult to figure out, and it would be good to get the problem fixed.Were you using the Gnash player, or the Adobe Flash player? Which version? If it was the Adobe player, was it installed from Medibuntu or someplace else? Interesting, thanks. Did you file a bug?

I tried to manually install Flash in the pre-installed Firefox but it wouldn't fly. Once I manually "installed" both Firefox and Flash, all was good.

Fedora is _known_ for such things, so if that is the case you really should mention it. Also, please link to the relevant bugs (either at mozilla or at your distro) for the problems so that I could triage them. Thanks.
