Have you tried nspluginwrapper with native firefox?   It works without
problem for me.  

However, flash9 is still quite buggy in FreeBSD.  I have to use flash7.
Flash9 will sometimes work, but often segfault. 

Most youtube vids, however, can be watched with flash7.  The linux-opera
port also works, without configuration, IIRC, with flash.
