Completely off the top of my head, and assuming you're running a native 
FreeBSD version of mozilla, I'd say you need to install the 
linux-pluginwrapper port. Both the linux-blackdown JDK and the Flash 
plugins that mozilla is whining about are linux shared libs, a FreeBSD 
program can't load them without help.
