    Dear god thank you for posting this.

    To whoever posted the original, recommend putting the mv into the original instructions, as just having the flash-plugin rpm doesn’t seem to work for me. Not sure if it’s the way I installed FF, but it only picks up the plugin when it’s in ~/.mozilla/plugins (plugins didn’t exist for me either, had to mkdir it).

    As far as I can tell since OP, Adobe yum repo is not updated.
