You can't use linux plugins with native FreeBSD apps without some
sort of wrapper.

No, nspluginwrapper runs on a per-user basis, you should run it as an
ordinary user. Step-by-step:
(1) Make sure you didn't do any handiwork
in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins. Just make sure Firefox is aware of
installed plugins (use about:plugins), add a symlink if necessary,
but don't move or delete anything. If not sure, reinstall plugin ports.
(2) You must have the following packages installed:
firefox-2.0.0.3_1,1
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4_1
linux-flashplugin-7.0r69
Make sure you _don't_ have linuxpluginwrapper installed as it can
collide with nspluginwrapper. Also, uninstall all other flash players
to make situation easier.
(3) Then, run 'nspluginwrapper -a -i -r' to clean old files (if any) and
'nspluginwrapper -a -i -v' as the user who uses Firefox. Then, list
what is installed. On my box:
%nspluginwrapper -l
/home/nikola/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin:
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.4
/home/nikola/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nphelix.so
Original plugin: /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.4
/home/nikola/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so
Original plugin:
/usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.4
Of course, no seg fault should happen. If it does, that might be
another problem, not related to flash player.
I also have to add a symlink in ~/.mozilla after Xorg upgrade, as I
desribed in my previous mail. Actually, I have two of them, like this:
%ll ~/.mozilla/firefox
total 18

lrwxr-xr-x 1 nikola nyx 10 May 27 03:41 plugins -> ../plugins
-rw-r--r-- 1 nikola nyx 94 Feb 23 20:11 profiles.ini
(4) Restart Firefox. In about:plugins page this entry should appear:
Shockwave Flash
Nom de fichier : npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r69
(5) Open YouTube and enjoy.

How much? On my box <25%, and works smoothly. Maybe someone else can
confirm.

Only in linux versions (linux-opera, linux-firefox...). There is no way
to use linux flashplugin in native browsers without a wrapper.
