With the old flash plugin, youtube works fine.
May put flash in one account on the box I'm using here, to see if it's perhaps a CPU or other hardware issue but not now.
Okay, the current flash plugin and yesterdays both work on this box. Except that

B52s playing Roam, does play.
html5 setting doesn't make any difference on this box, either.
This box is a netbook with the accursed Intel Atom N455, 32 bit fedora. That box is AMD Sempron 2600, all 32 bit.
Guess I need to file a bug somewhere.
(Specifically, with Adobe, not Fedora.)
I am unable to follow what you are doing. I thought there was one box...your daughter's. Now there are 2. This and that.
Well, I'd blame it on my age, but several members of the list trump me on that. 8-P My wife tells me I've always been hard to follow. :-<
There was one box, and then there are two. That is, since I'm having problems on the one box, I thought I'd see what happens on the other.
FWIW, both of those URLs you cite play just fine under F16/Firefox/HTML5 on my Intel i5 system.
I seem to be missing support for HTML5 somewhere. But I'm not really looking to fix that just now.
As I said, and as Sam has also pointed out, there really is no reason to mess with the tar file. Nobody I know jumps through hoops longer.
Same thing as using sudo and xhost to sandbox FF without depending on SELinux. I don't follow the crowed.
Here are my reasons for not enabling the repository and yumming the thing:
(1) I don't care to have lots of repositories enabled. Not for mpeg stuff, not for Adobe.
(2) I don't want to have to use Adobe's settings tools to disable Flash in my admin and banking accounts. I only want Flash to run in the account the kids surf from and the account I sometimes use for testing those kinds of things. I suppose I could
Yeah, I'm baroque enough to have separate accounts for surfing, work, admin, and money. And I don't surf in bad water, either. A former co-worker bragged about how much malware he had to remove from his PC, back in the days of MSW95. I'm kind of the opposite.
I've seen hints that I could use yum or RPM locally to the two users in question, I suppose I should nose around for more on that sometime.
Good luck.
