First I tried the link "Yum for Linux" (I know Yum, Yum Extender from Fedora), there is the version number "http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm" serviced, which does not work for Firefox/F19 correctly, not all Youtube files can be played, my error that I didn't give a detailed test description.

"Slow down a bit, please." That's something I find myself telling people more often recently.
There's a lot of unnecessary confusion in this thread.

You can also read the other reply I've typed in a few minutes ago, but the package you've
installed, adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm, is just a repository definition package,
which gives you access to a repository that contains the one and only flash-plugin package.
You're not done with installing the adobe-release-x86_64 package. You need an additional
"yum install flash-plugin" to download and install the actual Flash package.

That's the same one. Even if the checksum may be different, the contents are exactly the same:

$ rpmdev-diff flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm /var/cache/yum/x86_64/19/adobe-linux-x86_64/packages/flash-plugin-11.2.202.297-release.x86_64.rpm 
$

> The differencies I have noticed is that Youtrube files i.e, where there is a "sign"or "trade mark" like "vesa" on it, I could not play with x86_64-1.0-1, but I can these Videos play with 11.2.202.297-release.x86_64. I didn't install via command line, I installed simply clicking on the downloaded file and had rpm doing this work.

You're comparing wrong packages there. As explained above. You haven't had Flash installed
when you tried the videos for the first time. You've had just the adobe-release package.
