    Actually, you can run the linux flash plugin with the native mozilla.
    You need to be running a version of the OS with libmap support --
    either 5.x, or recent 4.9-STABLE, or there are some patches against
    4.9-RELEASE available, which might apply to earlier versions of the
    system. Just try installing the www/linuxpluginwrapper port -- it
    will tell you if your version of the OS is unsupported or not. Be sure
    to follow the instructions about setting up /etc/libmap.conf
    carefully. This lets you install both linux-flashplugin and acroread
    as browser plugins. Works nicely.

            Cheers,
