           Summary: Description of Flash plug-in has room for improvement
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: urgent
          Priority: medium
         Component: release-notes
        AssignedTo: relnotes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: mads@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: kwade@xxxxxxxxxx
    Classification: Fedora


The description on
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/en_US/What_is_the_Latest_on_the_Desktop.html#sn-Web_browsers
is correct but is hard to read.

* Flash 10 is common now, and the documentation should reflect and have flash 9
as the special case.

* There two primary but different cases: i386 and x86_64


I suggest the following structure (not necessarily this wording/spelling):


The Adobe Flash Player plug-in version 10 on Fedora i386 has no special
requirements.

The Adobe Flash Player plug-in version 10 on Fedora x86_64 requires the
nspluginwrapper.i386 package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash Player plug-in in
Firefox, and the libflashsupport.i386 package to enable sound from the plug-in:

 su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper.i386 nspluginwrapper.x86_64
libflashsupport.i386'

The Adobe Flash Player plugin version 9 used the legacy sound framework ALSA
and requires additional support from libflashsupport to work correctly, also on
i386:

      su -c 'yum install libflashsupport'

If you install nspluginwrapper then it will install wrappers for all existing
plug-ins at that time. To install wrappers for plug-ins installed after
nspluginwrapper run:

 su -c 'mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v'

Close all Firefox windows, and then relaunch Firefox. Type about:plugins in the
URL bar to ensure the plugin is loaded.
