FWIW, I just installed flashplugin-mozilla and went to the first page you
listed with no problems.  I tried mozilla 0.9.6 and galeon 1.0.1; both
worked.  What version of FreeBSD are you using?  I seem to recall that the
default maximum size for shared memory segments was increased not too long
ago.  My current values are:

kern.ipc.shmmax: 33554432
kern.ipc.shmmin: 1
kern.ipc.shmmni: 192
kern.ipc.shmseg: 128
kern.ipc.shmall: 8192

You can use sysctl -w to adjust them as necessary.  Hope this helps.
