This was tested in Fedora 11. You will need to install Adobe Flash Player in order to view videos in flash format just like from Youtube and other video sharing sites from inside Firefox or any other web browser.
Adobe's Flash plugin cannot be included in Fedora repositories because it is not free/libre and open source software.
Now, in order to install flash player manully, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and select "YUM for Linux". It's only 4.3KB, so once finished downloading the rpm file, just double click and it will prompt you for root password and all. What this actually does is add a repository to your list of repositories.
Now then go to Add/Remove Software and just look for Adobe Flash Player, install it, and you're ready to go!
