OK. So what is the difference that Mozilla plugins repository is preconfigured
but RPMfusion/RPMforge/Adobe repositories are not preconfigured.

I find these proprietary repositories have equal attributes, don't they?

Either Fedora forbids accessibility of any non-Free software and therefore it
should forbid also Mozilla plugins.

Or Fedora is OK with installing non-Free software into it but then the Adobe
repository should be made preconfigured because it is even significantly more
convenient for end-user than the already preconfigured Mozilla repository.
