Just to add a couple of ideas...

YouTube videos should work flawlessly, and this is well-known. :-) If
you have that problem, please report if YouTube works as expected in
www/kazehakase (to rule out the plugin/wrapper problem in your
installation).

This is a harmless warning message and a known issue in current
nspluginwrapper version. Just ignore it.

Try linux-opera with linux-blackdown-jdk-1.4; it just works (no
additional ports needed -- just as Norberto has already said for
linux-firefox).
