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:

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.

You don't need to be root to "rpm -q" something. You also don't need to quote entire messages with every reply.
I have the Adobe flash plug-in on Fedora 9, I haven't had any SELinux problems with it that I can recall. My installation was by adding the Adobe repo RPM, then yum installing the flash plug-in.

No need for root privileges to query the RPM database (you only need root for -i/-U/-F/-e etc.).

That is not the flash-plugin. You are listing the files in the nspluginwrapper directory. Try "su -c "rpm -q flash-plugin". If flash-plugin is not installed go to http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download the rpm package. You should receive flash-plugin-10.0.15.3-release.i386.rpm.
This is the program that SELinux is blocking as the program tries to make the stack executeable. I have the f9 Flash components loaded. But the SELinux error ocurrs as soon as I start firefox.

That was probably not a good idea :) Better to remove the RPM to clear up files under /usr/lib.
The flash plugin attempts to make the stack executable, which SELinux does not permit on my system.
Weird - I have libflashsupport installed on a number of 32/64 bit f9 systems and don't seem to have come across this problem. All of these boxes have SELinux set to enforcing.
