It's been a long time since I've used Fedora, so I don't know the official
way to do stuff, but for flash, you should be able to just download the
linux flash plugin from Adobe, unpack the tarball and copy
libflashplayer.so to your firefox/plugins directory for a system install,
or to your user's .mozilla/plugins directory for a single user. (Create
the plugins directory if it doesn't exist.)

Doing it this way might cause you to miss any automatic updates to flash,
but you can just check periodically for newer versions from Adobe.

For mp3, I think I used to add libmad, but for the past couple of years
(and in Debian) I just add ffmpeg, and everything works.
