Did you configure libmap?  Once you install linuxpluginwrapper, you have
to cp(1) one of the following:

%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-stable
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-current
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/libmap.conf-FreeBSD4.x

...to /etc

Then restart mozilla/firefox/galeon/ephiphany.  Then in the URL check
"about:plugins"

What version of FreeBSD? Firefox? Linux Emul/Compat? are you using.
