In my previous post I failed to notice Z.Z. was referencing
flashplugin-firefox. I just saw linux-this and linux-that.
Well... as far as I know it is native. So I went to
/usr/ports/www/flashplugin-firefox and did a 'make install clean'. I
had heard bad things but thought I'd try it anyways. It installed it..
Firefox recognizes it, and will display a flash app. But it then either
does not respond to clicks on the flash app (firefox is still responsive
though)... or it totally kills firefox.
Maybe I need to follow through on Zlatozar's instructions.
