Acutally I'd say the message is harmless, I also get it here
on 8.1/amd64 where flash works after disabling
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so as mentioned.
(And I just looked at my older post,

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-March/016220.html

seems I checked this before and saw that ff has fallback code
for when the syscall is missing.)

 Mikhail, have you tried ff's -safe-mode, or maybe even better
creating a new profile from scratch?  And if that doesn't work
maybe you should really use a native browser with nspluginwrapper
like most(?) of us do...

 HTH,
