If flash is important to you then I'd suggest you run windows firefox
under wine. Native Adobe Flash support is apparently working again in
7.1, but it's only just been restored as being broken for years. And by
all accounts the linux flash-plugin isn't perfect even in Linux.

All the supported versions of FreeBSD should have a wide range of
ciphers available on browsers. IMO it's not really worth using
ciphers below 128 bits. 128 bit is probably safe from the NSA, 40
bits could easily be broken on a pc.
