You either need to use a linux Mozilla binary, or install the "linuxpluginwrapper" port. Taking the latter route like I did, you need the following in libmap.conf (this is documented somewhere...): # Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany [/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 liblthread.so.3 libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libz.so.1 libz.so.2 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 liblstdc++.so.4 libm.so.6 libm.so.2 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so Finally, you do need a symlink in Mozilla's plugin directory. The URL about:plugins will list the loaded plugins, and you can go to about:config and set plugin.expose_full_path to true to find where libnullplugin.so is being loaded from and put the symlink there. For me, plugins are in /usr/local/lib/mozilla-1.7a/plugins, but the path for the Mozilla port may be slightly different than for a CVS build. Joseph E.
