Screen shot of Firefox Plugin Check utility page.

Description of problem:
Since installation (new) of Fedora 15, I have not been able to get the Adobe flash player to work (2 different computers, a laptop and a desktop).  Visiting the "Plugin Check" at Firefox shows a message in the "Missing Flash?" area:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Installing Adobe from yum:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install flash-plugin
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * fedora: mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca
 * rpmfusion-free: mirror.liberty.edu
 * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.liberty.edu
 * updates: mirror.ipnode.info
Setting up Install Process
Package flash-plugin-10.3.181.14-release.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Gnash and Lightspark do not work on the desktop at all, some functionality on the laptop with Lightspark but not all flash sites will work with it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Firefox 4.01 
Chrome 11.0.696.71 
Adobe flash-plugin-10.3.181.14-release.i386

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

3.
  
Actual results:
Message received:

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

 * if you install nspluginwrapper and alsa-plugins-pulseaudio (and restart Firefox), does anything change?
 * what's the content of about:plugins and output of the command
   mozilla-plugin-config -l

Thank you for your cooperation and helping to make Fedora more awesome!

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:38:46 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
