Sorry for top posting but this phone doesn't allow bottom posting.
I too use F17. What I did was download the rpm from adobe and used rpm to install. Flash works just fine except on cp24.com of the sites I visit that requires flash.
Yum complains but still works and hasn't caused problems.

i followed the instructions on the linked-to page and it just worked. don't forget that you have to completely close firefox and restart it.

Couldn't get to the link indicated above; the wheel of death just spun and spun.
I did close Firefox and re-start; did it again just to make sure. Same result.
I am not using Fedora 20. I am still running the antediluvian Fedora 17 (not having worked up the nerve to upgrade ...). Could that be the problem? Do I need to upgrade (to Fedora 18? 19? 20?) before flash will work? Why?
cheers,
