Firefox and Flash ...

[Kiffin Gish]

I know I am not the first nor more than likely the last, but I cannot 
for the life of me get Flash to work in Firefox 1.0.6 on FreeBSD 5.4.

I've tried everything according to the FreeBSD handbook, mailing lists, 
etc, but still when there is a page with Flash, poor Firefox chokes and 
dies.

One thing interesting I noticed though, which might be a hint, is that 
if I exit Xfce, logout, login this time as root, fire up Xfce again and 
then run Firefox, everything works without a hitch, e.g. even 
flash-based pages don't crash Firefox. Weird.

What gives?
