>Description:
ports/www/swfdec-plugin(-0.8.2) places the swfdec plugin in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/swfdec-plugin/libswfdecmozilla.so where firefox3 is too dumb to find it.

a symlink in browser_plugins/ to ./swfdec-plugin/libswfdecmozilla.so (which is analagous to what diablo-jdk does to link it's plugin) fixed things up right for me.
>How-To-Repeat:
build ports/www/swfdec-plugin, run firefox
>Fix:
add the ports.mk version of this shell command:

[/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins] ln -s swfdec-plugin/libswfdecmozilla.so swfdec-plugin

to ports/www/swfdec-plugin/Makefile

not sure exactly how to do that myself, or I'd do a patch.
