i386, in my case.

g1-252(10.1-P)[1] pkg info \*flash\*
linux-c6-flashplugin-11.2r202.406
g1-252(10.1-P)[2] 

That was installed (in this case) by virtue of the "portmaster
emulators/linux-c6".

I hadn't bothered with "nspluginwrapper -a -r" first....

So I just tried:
g1-252(10.1-P)[3] nspluginwrapper -a -r
g1-252(10.1-P)[4] nspluginwrapper -a -i

and re-started firefox; same symptoms.

I also re-built ports/www/firefox this morning; doesn't seem to have
helped.

"about:plugins" seems to report:

Shockwave Flash

    File: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
    Path: /common/home/david/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
    Version: 
    State: Enabled
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

MIME Type	Description	Suffixes
application/x-shockwave-flash	Shockwave Flash	swf
application/futuresplash	FutureSplash Player	spl

Since -i merely copies files to ~/.mozilla/plugins, I had figured
that it would be sufficient.

Thanks for the note.

Peace,
