Hi,

I'm going through the same thing. If anyone has gotten this on solved
I'd love to know. Several of the websites that I use have flash and
will not work without it.

I have tried:

     CVSuping my ports tree and building the latest firefox

     Updating linuxpluginwrapper

     Changing from www/linux-flashplugin6 to www/linuxflashplugin7

     Applying the rtld-elf patch.

     Using linux-firefox rather than the FreeBSD native one.

The result is always the same. Hit www.doonesbury.com and your browser
packs it in.
