People,

I think that you can find answers to a lot of problems mentioned here
if you start reading from

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-June/150737.html

and from

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-June/150773.html 

Those posts cover flash7 with native browsers, possible problem after
updating Xorg and some explanations related to {ns,linux}pluginwrapper.

In my experience things remained the same in meantime.
