I just saw linux-this and linux-that. Well... as far as I know it is native. So I went to /usr/ports/www/flashplugin-firefox and did a 'make install clean'. I had heard bad things but thought I'd try it anyways. It installed it.. Firefox recognizes it, and will display a flash app. But it then either does not respond to clicks on the flash app (firefox is still responsive though)... or it totally kills firefox. Maybe I need to follow through on Zlatozar's instructions. -- Regards, Eric
