Strange.  I followed some instructions that I googled up and it was like "install
these two ports and run that command" and everything worked.   And still does :)

(I think that it was www/linux-f10-flashplugin10, www/nspluginwrapper and running
nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
as a user for which I enabled the plugin).
