    I use native seamonkey-1.0.5 + linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_6 +
linux-flashplugin-7.0r68, and this "toolchain" worked for simple
flash content under RELENG_6 as of 2006.10.09, and continues to
work under fresh RELENG_6 (2006.10.16). However, the following looks
non-standard (it doesn't match corresponding section from

/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6

) in your configuration:

   Are you sure that file location should point at symlink instead of the real
file? My setup works correctly when I specify _real_ .so path here:

[/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so]

and doesn't work when I specify symlink:

[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins/libflashplayer.so]

In the latter case, flash plug-in shows fine under Help -> About Plug-ins, but 
fails during Flash content display:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
  /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [Shared object
  "libpthread.so.0" not found, required by "libflashplayer.so"]

Generally, it helps _a lot_ to start the browser from xterm's command line
in this situations - you'll see all error and warning messages then.
