The best solution is just to rm the files located in the ~/.mozilla/plugins/ directory then: % nspluginwrapper -v -a -i and don't forget to mount /usr/compat/linux/proc (well read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html for more details). Launch Firefox3 and type about:plugins in the URL bar, something like: Shockwave Flash File name: /home/kline/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r152 etc. should appear. -- Marc
