First, deinstall from ports emulators/linux_base-fc4 and make install linux_base-f8. Then make install from ports www/linux-firefox, www/nspluginwrapper and www/linux-flashplugin9. kldload linux, and mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc. Run nspluginwrapper and then run linux-firefox. Tada! All should work now, but it can be a little unstable.

It runs ok. Occasionally, the plugin crashes for a new page with flash, but it does not take firefox with it. Reloading the page usually fixes it. The important difference to your setup is that I run FreeBSD 7.1. Since the main bug rendering flash9 unstable was fixed in 7-STABLE between 7.1-RC1 and 7.1-RC2, I do not think anything will fix flash9 on FreeBSD 7.0. Maybe you get better results with osrelease=2.6.16 _and_ a newer linux_base, but that is not necessary. Updating to 7.1 is. noscript or at least flashblock is a must... The procedure: Get firefox3, flash9, and nspluginwrapper up to date, remove everything with nspluginwrapper as root and as your user, auto install every plugin as root (-a -i -v), and put links in your ~/.mozilla/plugins: cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so You need linprocfs mounted to /usr/compat/linux/proc -- see the manpage of linprocfs.

That's FreeBSD 7.1 or later, native Firefox 3, linux_base-fc4, linux-flashplugin9, and nspluginwrapper. remove everything with nspluginwrapper as root and as your user, auto install every plugin as root (-a -i -v), and put links in your ~/.mozilla/plugins: Or just run nspluginwrapper -a -i as your web browser user. The only link I had to create by hand was for Java. npviewer.bin leaves core dumps in my home directory way too often, and often makes the browser do nothing for seconds at a time. gnash runs better but still doesn't quite do all the Flash stuff.

The only link I had to create by hand was for Java. The reason I recommended removing everything as root is that there could be an old version left from an old version of flash. For example, if you have 9.0r151 and 9.0r152 both wrapped in different directories, both will be picked up, which confuses firefox -- and you probably still have the vulnerability that was fixed with the upgrade. If there is just one wrapped version that all users link to symbolically, you just have to remember updating that after a portupgrade and everyone is up to date again. Of course, if you are the only user of your computer, keeping the wrapped versions in your home directory makes sense, too -- just avoid doing both.
