Basically this port is 5 years old and it's too old and it's not supported anymore.
The name is confusing, because it looks like it's the most appropriate package for flash plugin.

GPLFlash isn't maintained anymore. Instead try gnash or lightspark

SetWindow
The program 'epiphany' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 27 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Program exited with code 01.

With Firefox:

>Fix:
Workaround:
sudo pkg_delete -v flashplugin-mozilla\*
sudo portinstall nspluginwrapper linux_base-f10
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
sudo nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
sudo mount -t linprocfs linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc
echo 'linproc    /usr/compat/linux/proc  linprocfs   rw  0   0' >> /etc/fstab # run from root, to add at boot time

Solution for /usr/ports/www/flashplugin-mozilla:
Can you mark this port as ignore or broken?
Or just add the message in pkg-message:
This port is old and no more supported. Please use alternatives such as: gnash, lightspark or linux-f10-flashplugin
Or addthe link to the handbook:
