Yours, Try www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 with www/nspluginwrapper and native firefox, that seems to work okay here, and in the remaining cases where flash does crash it only takes the npviewer.bin process with it not the browser itself. Be prepared to clean up leftover npviewer.bin.core files and npviewer.bin processes once in a while tho after closing a browser... Hm and I just tried www/linux-firefox-devel (3.5.10, again with www/linux-f10-flashplugin10) on http://www.youtube.com/kutiman and flash10 seems to work there too. But yes you are right when I tried www/linux-firefox (3.6.6) I got a crah, this probably has something to do with firefox' new out-of-process-plugin code that doesn't work as is in the linuxulator, see this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-March/016220.html Seems you can disable the feature tho as mentioned here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Disabling_crash_protection and indeed after setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so to false in about:config youtube also worked in www/linux-firefox 3.6.6.
