It runs ok. Occasionally, the plugin crashes for a new page with flash, but it does not take firefox with it. Reloading the page usually fixes it. The important difference to your setup is that I run FreeBSD 7.1. Since the main bug rendering flash9 unstable was fixed in 7-STABLE between 7.1-RC1 and 7.1-RC2, I do not think anything will fix flash9 on FreeBSD 7.0. Maybe you get better results with osrelease=2.6.16 _and_ a newer linux_base, but that is not necessary. Updating to 7.1 is. noscript or at least flashblock is a must... The procedure: Get firefox3, flash9, and nspluginwrapper up to date, remove everything with nspluginwrapper as root and as your user, auto install every plugin as root (-a -i -v), and put links in your ~/.mozilla/plugins: cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so You need linprocfs mounted to /usr/compat/linux/proc -- see the manpage of linprocfs.
