I use native firefox, but the linux-flashplugin7 worked just fine for me
for a long time. And the only reason I wanted to use version 9, is
because some sites require flash version >= 8.
But I have the impression that it is supposed to work for the native:
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html)

at least the handbook does not state anything about it.
