What have I missed? Hi, I'm using flash on 6-STABLE so I don't know if it works on 6.1R or not. Make sure you linux_base ports and linuxpluginwrapper are up-to-date. I'll assume your linux-flashplugin-7 is up-to-date. My version is linux-flashplugin-7.0r63. A directory listing of /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins might also help. Here is what my listing looks like: dwpc@ /etc# ll /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins total 32 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 Jun 26 23:39 flashplayer.xpt -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/flashplayer.xpt lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51 Jun 26 23:40 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19216 Jun 19 17:45 libnullplugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11632 Jun 19 17:45 libunixprintplugin.so Also here is what my /etc/libmap.conf looks like: # [ALPHA SUPPORT] Flash7 with Mozilla [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so.2 libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash7.so libz.so.1 libz.so.3 libm.so.6 libm.so.4 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash7.so BTW, there is a discussion concerning this on current@ which is very interesting and I recommend as good reading. As that discussion implies and as the linuxpluginwrapper states explicitly, this is unsupported. Hope this helps. YMMV --Duane
