About a month ago, Flash 7 was marked unsafe, and Flash 9 doesn't work
on many sites.
[1] Anyone have any tricks to get Flash 9 working in 7.x?
[2] Any update on getting the freebsd foundation to take
on Flash (ala Java)?
[3] Anyone work at Adobe (nee Macromedia) that can get a
build for FreeBSD published?
For the record, after the update to linux-flashplugin7 3 days ago, it is
no longer marked unsafe and I have had no problems updating. It now
will, by default, build with support for nspluginwrapper.
I did the update and ran:
nspluginwrapper -i -v /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so \
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
(I don't like the Acrobat plugin, so I don't install that one.)
Note that nspluginwrapper must be run by each user before starting
firefox.
I have no joy to spread in Flash 9. Happily, most of the sites I use
that are Flash-based are still working with Flash 7.
