I'm the linux-flashplugin maintainer so I suppose I should speak up here. Many, many people, myself included, have linux-flashplugin6 & linuxpluginwrapper running successfully on 4.x systems. You will need to make sure you have linux_base installed (which the flash ports already depend on for you), linux compatibility loaded into the kernel (either compiled in or via the module), and then follow the instructions in the linuxpluginwrapper pkg-message to setup your libmap.conf(5) properly. > then I tried to install linux-flashplugin7 but mozilla/firefox doesn't > recognize it, and I can't find any documentation on how to enable that > (well, I did find on google that it works with opera...).

You can use linux-flashplugin7 with Linux browser binaries such as linux-mozilla or linux-opera only. I hope to soon work with the linuxpluginwrapper maintainer to integrate changes necessary to support linux-flashplugin7 natively on FreeBSD. HTH, Brandon D.
