This has been mentioned on the Fedora list. It is not everyone, but
there are others that are seeing the same behavior (including myself).
One poster has said that he already posted this behavior to the bug
reporter at Adobe.

This poster said that it did work successfully for him in Konqueror and
when loading an swf file from his hard drive, just not embedded flash
files.

I was going to test this in FC6 and also with Firefox 2.0 RC3, but
haven't had a chance yet.

Always try to do things in chronological order; it's less confusing that way.
