I recommend not installing the 64-bit Flash plugin for several reasons.

See, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs#Strangely_distorted_sound_in_Flash-based_sites_and_applications_when_using_Adobe_64-bit_Flash_plugin

and the warnings at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#64-bit_Preview_Release ,

and follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#32_bit_wrapped_version to install the 32-bit version wrapped instead.

It is nice to see the fedora community (and a Red Hat employee) demonstrating an active interest in the users as well as the product.

Thank you for the email.
