This is what I would recommend: First, get rid of all the flash plugins you have installed. Next, install the flashpluginwrapper port (This will install the linux flashplugin 5 port as a dependency). Once the port has successfully installed there are a few small tasks. Here's the message displayed after installing the port: If you are using a Mozilla browser, you first need to copy the linux flash plugin into the mozilla plugins directory: (I actually just create links, but this doesn't really matter.) # cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \ %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so # cp %%LOCALBASE%%/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \ %%X11BASE%%/lib/browser_plugins/ Next, change the Mozilla startup script, %%X11BASE%%/bin/mozilla to have: LD_PRELOAD=%%PREFIX%%/lib/libflashplayer.so.1 export LD_PRELOAD at the top of it (but after #!/bin/sh). Now start mozilla and go to 'about:plugins' and the flash plugin is enabled! ..and that's pretty much it. With the exception of the rare site that requires flash 6, it works perfectly. To really get a multimedia capable browser you might want to consider installing the mplayerplug-in and java plugins as well.
