Did you perhaps install a kernel without option SYSVSHM enabled? Mozilla uses shared memory blocks to communicate with plugins. As far as i remember the GNU Flash plugin has a bug that causes it to not release these shared memory blocks on FreeBSD. I mailed the author a couple of months ago but never got a reply. You can check which shared memory blocks exist on your system with the ipcs command, see ipcs(1).
