Firefox plugins from Ports [was Re: question about gnash or kde-gnash]

Will remember the sites where you *do* want that stuff, or it will let you turn it on temporarily. It's in ports: www/xpi-noscript Not guaranteed to block every advert, but the ones it does let through will be relatively inoffensive. For advert blocking there is www/xpi-adblock_plus. But my main reason to responding to this post is because I'm wondering what the pros and cons are of installing Firefox plugins from the Ports tree, versus installing them directly from within Firefox itself. I assume that plugins installed from Ports are activated for all users and cannot be disabled by the user, unless they run pkg_delete. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/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. yes the linux-opera is the only one actually working with flash. but if it is multiuser machine i strongly recommend not to use it. with flash it easily hogs CPU with many processes. possibly not opera bug but flash by general, watching a page with too many flashing things does this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might want to check the home page for swfdec; version 0.5.2 has been released, and according to the info on the page it should work in most cases. Currently, we have 0.5.0 in the ports tree; most banners will work, but other stuff won't. If your question is limited to YouTube videos, you might use youtube_dl - it's in the ports.

firefox plugins
My goal is to install a freebsd native browser supporting at least the most common plugins. I'm running 4.11 stable. I have installed firefox and the jdk1.4.2 (which I believe is freebsd native) which provided me with the java plugin, and flashplugin-firefox. Are there native plugins for acrobat, real player, etc. Or do I have to install the linux versions? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
