>Description:
After trying to install flashplugin.tbz by using pkg_add with:

pkg_add -r flashplugin

i received the following message:

Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2.1-release/Latest/flashplugin.tbz... Done.
****
Please install Netscape Communicator/Navigator 4.0 or later
before installing this plugin.
****
pkg_add: package ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2.1-release/Latest/flashplugin.tbz fails requirements - not installed

Netscape 4 must be installed? I have installed firebird (now its firefox) and Mozilla (version 1.6). Here is the information from pkg_info:

mozilla-1.5_1,2     The open source, standards compliant web browser
mozilla-1.6.a,1     The open source, standards compliant web browser
mozilla-firebird-0.7_1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
mozilla-gtk2-1.5_1  The open source, standards compliant web browser
mozilla-thunderbird-0.3 Mozilla Thunderbird is standalone mail and news that stands

Is it possible to have an updated flashplugin for Mozilla? Or is it mandatory to install Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.7??
