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 :)
