Flash Player with Firefox on Fedora Core 5

Flash Player installed with Firefox on Fedora Core 5, but it didn't show up in about:plugins. The files were in the plugins and components directories and had the proper mode. /var/log/messages showed that the file libflashplayer.so was denied to load by firefox-bin. The problem is has to do with SE Linux and is explained in this post by Dan Walsh. The short fix is this:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/plugins/libflashplayer.so
