Hi,

$ rpm -qa | grep flash

Also:

$ cd /usr/lib/firefox_version
$ firefox -safe-mode

Check if flash work fine on safe-mode.

as you told me..
. firts with code "rpm -qa | grep flash" run follows:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep flash
python-webflash-0.1-0.1.a9.fc11.noarch
flashrom-0.9.1-1.fc11.i586
libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.i386
gallery2-flashvideo-2.3-14.fc11.noarch
flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386

it is all packages that it's installed

and
now the folder firefox_version

[root@localhost lib]# cd firefox-3.5.3/
[root@localhost firefox-3.5.3]# firefox -safe-mode
[root@localhost firefox-3.5.3]#

as root:

rpm -e libflashsupport <enter>

And re-start firefox. Try it again.
