New Revision: 39018
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39018

Log:
  As far as I can tell, linprocfs(5) is no longer required for proper
  functionality of the Flash plugin within Firefox.  I do not know when
  this changed, nor what changed (i.e., if this is a Firefox change or
  not).
  
  Remove recommendation to ensure linprocfs is mounted, as a result.
