What I did was chase the plugin information down from firefox links, and ended up here http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/flash.html Now, it says this will download flashplayer-7. It really downloads -9, but that is OK: that's the one you want, anyway. Then, you can either run the installer, or just put the libflashplayer.[so,xpt] into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ directory and (after emerging it), run nspluginwrapper -i ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so I just did exactly that (download, unpack, stop firefox, mv ...., nspluginwrapper..., restart firefox on a known flash-dependent site) as a check, and it worked as expected. (For this to work, note that you will need a fair number of the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xxx packages if you don't already have them, but they are all quick binary installs. Why? Because libflashplayer.so is: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped and it uses things like: libX11.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libX11.so.6) > -- > "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
