I have CentOS5.5 installed in the system. After updating the version of firefox, the videos are playing on the internet. Earlier the message "flash player download required" used to come.

so what? is that a problem? you want your message back?

maybe because of the many security vulnerabilities? Because Flash is proprietary, non-free? Because flash reduces battery life? Because flash is prone to crash? Flash is mainly used in ads?

There are so many reasons why Flash is crap :-)

So disable it if you don't want it.

Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Shockwave Flash -> 'Disable'.
