I have /usr/ports extracted from the 6.0 Release ISO CD. I also have a directory which I named /home/newports extracted from the latest portsnap download: portsnap -p /home/newports fetch portsnap -p /home/newports extract followd by portsnap -p /home/newports update The following steps gave me firefox 1.0.7 with a working flash 6 plugin: cd /usr/ports/www/firefox make install clean cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6 make install clean cd /home/newports/www/linuxpluginwrapper make install clean cp -i /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6 /etc/libmap.conf Finally edit /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh and add /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6 to MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH (near the end of the script) (colon-separated path components) Now run firefox as usual. That was it for me. Hope this or some variation of this helps anyone who needs a working setup quickly. Various linux compatibility packages got installed in the process as dependencies (list below) but none gave me any trouble. linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_3 XFree86 libraries, Linux binary linux-expat-1.95.5_3 Linux/i386 binary port of Expat XML-parsing library linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 The official Macromedia Flash Player for Linux Mozilla and linux-flashplugin-7.0r61 The official Macromedia Flash Player for Linux Mozilla and linux-fontconfig-2.1_3 Linux/i386 binary of Fontconfig linux-glib2-2.2.1_3 Version 2.X Linux/i386 binary port of GLib linux_base-8-8.0_6 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386) linuxpluginwrapper-20051113 A wrapper allowing use of linux-plugins with native applica Unfortunately the build of firefox 1.5 in /home/newports breaks for me, so I cannot get firefox 1.5 and flash working together in this manner yet. Also, I installed linux-flashplugin7 the same way, however, it crashes firefox 1.0.7 immediately at start, so I removed the plugin path for flash 7 from MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH. Firefox 1.0.7 + Flash 6 will keep me running until the new versions stabilize. Chandan
