ok.. this is quite an interesting thread. I had tried flash > 7 with native
ffox sometime last year. The answer was to give up on it and have linux-firefox
and the whole linux-* saga.

So I decided to give this a try again, with some mixed results. I double
checked what I was doing with the steps shown in the URL Gaye kindly provided,
it all checked out as expected.

Ups : ffox native still works better, to me, than linux-firefox : it's not such
a cpu hog, it feels more snappy. Flash9 works mostly, except in certain cases,
and in those cases, it's not fatal (ffox doesnt die)

Downs: Flash videos, such as those in video.google, youtube and others, load
(static image is shown, start streaming), play for about 1 second with video +
sound, and then they just dissapear from the browser, with errors from the
NSPluginWrapper.

Details follow, apologies for the lengthy email...
