Deinstall it and follow the Handbook > Flash instructions: The flashplugin-mozilla port does indeed seem to be the wrong port and the nspluginwrapper port mentioned in the FreeBSD Handbook does indeed work, but there were a couple of glitches: 1) The plugin was installed in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins where Linux firefox executables also find it and then choke on the FreeBSD ELF file. I fixed the problem by moving the plugin to /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins. Using a single .directory for multiple browsers is probably a very bad idea if it contains stuff which is not the same for all versions of all browsers. I am not sure what a better alternative should look like. One possibility would be to have directories in $HOME/.mozilla with names like plugins-version-name. 2) The nspluginwrapper produces these warning messages: *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue() *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 in NPP_GetValue() I can't solve this problem because the nspluginwrapper does not seem to come with any documentation. Documentation would be noce since the nspluginwrapper claims to support other types of plugin but gives no hint about how to install them. Thanks, Dan Strick
