Yes though like I say I also use flashblock so I only see the flash I 
want to.  I'm moving house at the moment so I can't try and recreate my 
steps to install it but it was something like:

install firefox, linux-flashplugin9, nspluginwrapper from ports
locate libflashplayer.so
run nspluginwrapper

I'll try running without flashblock for a while and see what happens.
