I have used the "steps" in question many times over in order to get linux-flashplugin7 working with native Firefox, with no luck whatsoever. However, after installing 6.2-RELEASE, I have added some packages with portinstall -PP, and for some reason, linux-flashplugin7 now works on my system. I suspect this happened because my PKG_SITES is set to ftp:.../i386/packages-6-stable/. Most likely, some library was updated, and this did the trick. Wish I knew precisely which update that was. -- Tore
