Make sure linproc is mounted (a reboot should be fine), and
then run:

	% nspluginwrapper -a -v -i

Afterwards, "about:plugins" should list it in Firefox. As I
said, I'm not using "Flash" with Firefox, but with Opera, as
described in the Handbook. Those steps should lead you to a
functioning installation. :-)
