You have three viable choices, I'd recommend the third: 1. ports/graphics/gnash or gnash-devel (high CPU utilization on FreeBSD) 2. ports/www/swfdec-plugin [ ports/graphics/swfdec itself is a standalone flash player, the plugin port installs a plugin for firefox usage. 0.8.4 is the latest version for the standalone player(which, according to the official swfdec site, can play youtube video just fine). However, the plugin port of swfdec is still at version 0.8.2 and does not work with youtube videos at the moment.] 3. ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 + ports/www/linux-flashplugin9 + ports/www/nspluginwrapper (this method is the most complex, but usually yields the fastest-responding flash and best results, at the moment.)

I had a great deal of trouble with npviewer.bin core dumping and locking up firefox really nicely with fedora base 8, so I'd stick with 4. > http://www.google.ro/search?hl=3Dro&q=3Dfreebsd+firefox+flash+player&btnG= =3DC%C4%83utare+Google&meta=3D&aq=3Df&oq=3D > and of course http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ = but > aspecially > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browser= s.html > . =A0Hope that triggered your appetite. > > > Have fun :)
