Adobe now supports both x86_64 as well as i686 flash-plugin (well, as 
well as it does any flash on Linux, but that's another story), so 
nspluginwrapper is not needed for covering 32bit for 64bit Firefox 
anymore. Also since somewhere in the 3.* timeframe Firefox supports out 
of process plugins. SELinux people thus recreated SELinux policy so that 
even "naked" flash-plugin runs confined with the SELinux type 
mozilla_plugin_t (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747993).

So, please, uninstall nspluginwrapper, install Adobe Yum Flash repo (go 
to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download install Yum repo) and 
flash-plugin from it, restart firefox, and open some Flashy webpage. 
When you run these commands, what do you get?

pstree -Z $(pidof firefox)
ps Z $(pgrep -f plugin-container)

Thank you,

Matěj
