Article displays properly & video plays. No problems.
Fedora 12. Firefox 3.5.8-1.fc12. Flash 10.0 r45 Alpha. kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64. Everything 64-bit, including plugins, the list of which at first glance looks similar to yours, just all 64-bit.

From a later response of yours, you said you're all 32-bit--OS, Firefox, plugins, etc. Yes? Then why do you have nspluginwrapper installed? It's not needed. nspluginwrapper is meant to run 32-bit plugins on 64-bit browsers. You're all 32-bit. Maybe, this is the problem.
