That's Flash content.  Adobe supports Windows, MacOSX, Linux, and Solaris
(from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions ).

If it is important to you that Flash works well, you should either persuade
Adobe to provide a FreeBSD version, or you should switch to using one of the
platforms on which Flash is supported.
