You can use either, but it will need to be downloaded and installed for each user if you use add-on. With port, you only download once and can copy to the user config in their directory.

The flicker seems to be a new 'feature' for flash these days - also available on linux :) I haven't discovered any fix/tune for it, but if you find one post back so we can all enjoy ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't get the flicker that you speak of but on occasion Firefox can peg back a core 100% constantly and I have to restart the browser. I think this is probably flash related but I haven't investigated it. So keep an eye on top output. I'd recommend www/xpi-flashblock.
