| Adobe's Flash Player cannot be included in Fedora because it is not free/libre and open source software. Adobe does release a version of the Flash plugin for Linux, and this can be used in Firefox, Konqueror and other popular Internet browsers. The Linux plugin is only available for x86 architectures. When Adobe releases a newer version of the Linux Flash plugin, it makes packages available for Fedora, but Fedora cannot include Adobe's plugin as long as it is unavailable as free and open source software.

| Adobe provides a third-party yum repository for installing Flash software. Refer to the Adobe site here:

| |
| | |
| Select ''YUM for Linux'' to download, and confirm. Once the download completes, use <code>yum</code> or the ''Add/Remove Software'' tool to install the <code>flash-plugin</code> package.
