iirc, Firefox will block flash from working when it knows the plugin
is vulnerable.
flashtester.org works today, but not last week and maybe even the week before.
i have seen this behavior a few times after major security flaws are
known to be exploited.
i don't think i did anything to fix it except apply updates and reboot.
Have you rerembered to make sure no firefox process or any flash
process is running?
FlashTester.org succeeds but javatester.org fails, so ...
Tools --> AddOns --> Plugins --> "Check to see if your plugins are up to date"
which brings one to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version."

How do I find out the answer?
Assuming I install it correctly this time, do I need to restart firefox?
I often have rather a lot of tabs open and there
doesn't seem to be any tidy way to save them.

It doesn't let you save them anymore.
If you want that ability, you have to set it to startup with the previous session's tabs... in the same section of preferences where the home page is set, if I recall correctly.
i.e. If that's actually part of what you were asking.

If you want to save your current tabs use kill to kill off your Firefox
process. Next time you start Firefox all your tabs will miraculously
reappear. I found this out when I had to kill a Firefox session that
locked up.

Not necessary. If you just log out, when it comes back up when you log in,
it should be the same. This is dependent upon your window manager, please
note, but I run kde, and it does this every day....

Thanks for the information about firefox.
I've edited my preferences accordingly.
I still have the following issue:

This was the untidy method I knew about.
My concern was that restarting after a kill
might not let me use a installed plugin.

It's not entirely clear what you're asking.
The default that will occur if you just hit Enter is No, indicated by the upper-case letter in the brackets.
If you don't import the key you will either need to use the --nogpgcheck parameter whenever you install an rpm from adobe, else disable the gpg check in the yum.conf file.
I doubt that anyone here is going to counsel you to disable the gpg check.
If you don't want to automatically trust every package signed with that key, then don't install it and use the --nogpgcheck parameter each time you want to install an adobe package; if you don't mind trusting packages signed with that key, then import it.
