Are you using the native firefox or the linux version? I would suggest you = use=20 the native version (and mybe remove any linux versions you have installed t= o=20 avoid any confusion). If you have the native one, have you installed the linuxpluginwrapper port? If you have done all that, it should now just be a matter of installing - acroread - linux-flashplugin - linux-realplayer Then check the entries in /etc/libmap.conf and copy into it any lines you n= eed=20 from /usr/local/share/examples/linuxplugginwrapper (as stated in the=20 pkg_message for the linuxpluginwrapper) My /etc/libmap.conf looks like this: libc_r.so.5 libpthread.so.1 libc_r.so libpthread.so # Flash6 with Konqueror (temporary setting) [/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so] libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so libz.so.1 libz.so.2 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.4 libm.so.6 libm.so.2 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so # Helix RealPlayer with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror [/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so] libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.4 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/realplayer.so # Acrobat with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror [/usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so # [ALPHA SUPPORT] Flash7 with Mozilla #[/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so] #libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so.1 #libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash7.so #libz.so.1 libz.so.2 #libm.so.6 libm.so.3 #libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash7.so Hope that helps you sort it out.
