When I put the about:plugins as the URL.  I get, among others:

    Shockwave Flash

      File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
      Shockwave Flash 7.0 r70

    MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
    application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
    application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes

Both.  Where the flash player should be is totally blank in firefox.

I just set hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap: 1 but still no change.

Will do.
