Getting flash working with Firefox

[Clint Olsen]

Not to sound ungrateful, but why does one have to do all this gobbledy 
gook in order to get flash working?  After reading the port and this 
stuff, I still don't know what in the heck to do.  I thought the point 
of the ports system is to make this stuff easier not bake cookies.
