Another point, to move to the mozilla plugins directory you will need 
root privileges. So first open a terminal and switch to root and then 
move the file like this,

$ su
Password:<here you enter the root password>
# mv /path/to/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

I would however recommend you try the packaged rpm for 64 bit flash 
posted on fedoraforum. Someone posted a link to the thread a few days back.
