Well any site with flash should be good enough, if the plugin is 
actually loading and it sounds like it is, then pressing the right mouse 
button over the flash anim should bring up a gnash menu confirming its 
loaded. Even if the plugin is working, the best you can expect with 
gnash is variable success in actually playing/using flash anims and apps.

Yes and no. It doesn't work *properly* for a lot of flash files out 
there but works with a few, often adverts unfortunately :) But it 
certainly loads and runs for me. The latest version claims to work with 
youtube for example, but for me it doesn't although it at least gets 
further than the previous version. As you're using x86_64 and unless you 
  object on philosophical grounds, you could always install firefox-32 
from the Fedora repo and use the offical flash plugin from the 
macromedia repo for Fedora.
