Sorry not a response to the OP but hopefully useful correction:

%uname -sr
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE
%pkg_info -Ix firefox
firefox-2.0.0.12_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
%pkg_info -Ix plugin
linux-flashplugin-9.0r115 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5 A compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) 
plugins
...

I don't actually see a lot of flash as I have flashblock installed but I 
can't recall having probs when I have chosen to view it, except it still 
doesn't work with youtube. I've just installed wine and win32 
firefox+flashplugin for youtube and bbc iplayer and that works fine.
