Adobe Flash Player 9 has a number of known problems that will not be fixed by Adobe. Adobe is nearing the release of Flash 10 that can work a lot better than Flash 9, but it currently requires a number of workarounds to work in Fedora. http://macromedia.mplug.org/ Please follow the directions written here with Flash 10. If you find 100% reproducible problems after doing all the listed workarounds, then please open a new bug and tell us how to reproduce that problem.
