I'm unable to find any reference to amd64 on Firefox FAQ and other

run Flash material. Any ideas?
Adobe only distributes linux binaries, so you need linux-compatibility.
On i386 the idea is to install
/usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
but that doesn't work with amd64 yet.
Some people on this list claimed to be able to run
/usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin9
in linux-opera or linux-firefox with linux_base-fc6, but the latter
will only be available with upcoming FreeBSD 7.0 branch.
So for FreeBSD 6.2 now only /usr/ports/swfdec-plugin or
/usr/ports/graphics/gnash remain. Both are OpenSource projects and can
display something like flash 4 files or just crash your browser.
Good luck,
Uli.

Flash has been discussed extensively on this mailing list at least 5
times in the past 3 months so maybe you should check archive first. It
could be that your questions is already answered. So I would prefer not
to repeat any howto until you have a chance to look older posts.
