How to install flash plugin for firefox on centos/redhat
May 16th
Hello,
There are many ways to get flash working on firefox, but here is a quick, easy, clean way to do it.
1) Go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
2) Download the tar.gz tarball
3) tar -zxf Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_.tar.gz
4) cd Flash_Player_10_for_Linux
5) Run the installer, when asked for the location of firefox, enter /usr/lib/mozilla…
If for some reasons you still experience problems… then manually copy the libflashplayer.so file which should be at the root of your untarred flash tarball to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
5) cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
6) Once copied, restart firefox (or open it) and voila! enjoy 
Clean, easy, simple, fast and no hassle.

Ever had yum segfaulting…
If this is the case, what to do?
1.) yum clean metadata
2.) yum clean dbcache
3.) yum makecache
try again
