Which probably happened during the last update with the bad
dependencies. If the correct version of the .i386 package had already
been installed, it wouldn't have been a problem. (It wasn't for me).
This last update brought in .i386 versions of sqlite, libidn, libcurl,
and nss for me which weren't there before.

Fedora doesn't build Adobe's RPM, and its not clear if the same RPM from
Adobe is intended for multiple RPM based distributions or not, or if the
other distrubutions even *have* a libflashpluginsupport RPM.

Fedora Release Notes. For F8, its section 10.3.1 and contains the line:
> Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the nspluginwrapper.i386 package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash plugin in x86_64 Firefox and the pulseaudio-libs.i386 package to enable sound from the plugin..
I find that the Adobe Flash Plug-in works better for me than the
different open source alternatives.
