Flash player for either Konqueror or Firefox?

[Karl Denninger]

Yeah, I've tried that and updated to Firefox 2 as well; if I try to have 
the flashplayer (there isn't a FreeBSD one, I'm attempting to use the 
Linux one) load it segfaults Firefox immediately.

Opera doesn't work either.

I think I'm stuck here; this is something that FreeBSD needs to get 
resolved if its going to be a serious contender in the desktop arena.  
I've got folks that would love to run this (and some Java apps) but its 
just not getting it done.......
