As I wrote (scroll down this thread), if you have three files installed
in ~/.mozilla/plugins, and if all plugins work, I guess you don't have
to worry.

It is very hard to say, depends on what sites you opened, etc. Seems ok
to me. I'm aware of cpu issues in version 7 in full screen mode /only/
and of those related to hibernation, all fixed in version 9). You can of
course try www/linux-flashplugin-9.0r31_1 instead (first uninstall
version 7). I personally wasn't very happy with it. Ver. 7 has always
been working flawlessly for me.

If you are not sure and want to pursue the matter, you may start a new
thread about flashplugin cpu usage. You can also consider asking on
freebsd-multimedia at .
