I'm running 8.2 RC2 on a Dell E520.
Getting Flash to work in Opera 11 was very easy by merely following the steps in this post.
However, I have not had the same success with the Midori browser.
What I have done is essentially to follow step #2 in this post.
So, after installing flashplugin-mozilla from ports, I ran this command in a terminal:
.
Then I launched Midori from the same terminal and it worked fine, until I tried to launch a Youtube video.
This caused Midori to crash and the following was output on the terminal:
OK, as flash works fine in Opera for me, I decided to try Midori with the same flashplayer that works well in Opera.
So, I ran the following command:
I then launched Midori from the same terminal and tried Youtube again.
However, Midori again crashed with the following output:
Now, the Midori xfce FAQ includes this:
Is it , however, necessary for Midori?
I have seen one post to this forum where a user claimed to be using Midori with "configured flash". However, no details are presented.
Any clues?

The program 'midori' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.

However, in the first link above, the Opera guy states that "nspluginwrapper is not needed to run Flash in Opera".Q. Flash is crashing all the time
A. Try searching for a package named nspluginwrapper or similar in your distribution repositories. It implements plugins in their own process so they can't drag down the whole browser.
Is it , however, necessary for Midori?
