Forgot to post that I have the tar ball installed and not the rpm from RedHat, so Firefox is in /usr/local/firefox . Where is the libflashplayer installed? chcon -t textrel_shlib_t libflashplayer.so should fix the problem. Notice my workcaround in Additional Info. libflashplayer.so is installed in /usr/local/firefox/plugins The same behaviour is obtained with Mozilla ; I also installed from the tarball taken from www.adobe.com Fixed in selinux-policy-2.2.38-1.fc5 Currently using selinux-policy-2.2.34-3.fc5 which is current release. It is not fixed in that. Checked development repository for FC5 and the latest is 2.2.35-2 as of Mon May 8 12:09:49 EDT 2006. I tried to update, but got: Error: failure: Fedora/RPMS/selinux-policy-targeted-2.2.35-2.noarch.rpm from development: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I'll keep looking for selinux-policy-2.2.38-1.fc5 or some selinux-policy-2.2.38-X.fc5 to show up, so I can test. I encountered this bug using selinux-policy-2.2.43-4.fc5 The workaround worked for me *** Bug 196203 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Adobe has indicated that text relocations will be fixed in the next version of Flash Player for Linux, release date yet undetermined.
