hi

I am installing flash on a fairly fresh installation of 8.0

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Mar 24 GENERIC i386.
linux_base-f10-10_2
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r42
nspluginwrapper-1.2.2_5

muji2# nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Install plugin /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so

about:plugins in firefox3 shows flash is not installed.

Now about:plugins shows flash is installed and stays installed for the 
non-root user even if root subsequently runs nspluginwrapper again.
