After attempting to install the Firefox Flash plugin, I kept getting SELinux alerts every time I started Firefox. After deleting all the files in the directory /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper, I continued to get SELinux alerts. The flash plugin attempts to make the stack executable, which SELinux does not permit on my system.
The alerts from one invocation of Firefox follow:

Not quite sure what to do with this, other than to ignore it.>
You left out the most important facts regarding your problem:
1. Version and architecture of Fedora. (I'm assuming that you are using a x64 version.) 2. Whose flash plugin and version?
Have you tried the 64-bit alpha release from Adobe. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html ? Just extract it and place it into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, restart Firefox and check "about:plugins" to see if it installed.
