I've just started using FreeBSD as my desktop for a while, and I encountered the following problems.
Flash (using Swfdec and Gnash) was able to run in Firefox (3.0.10), but it was a resource hogger. It ate up quite a lot of CPU power (no idea if this is a unique case).
Later on I used this tutorial: http://crnl.org/blog/2008/11/01/flash-9-for-freebsd-71. The only exception is that I used emulators/linux_base-f10 instead of emulators/linux_base-f8. Flash Player works, but if Firefox crashes, Flash also stops working as well. The computer needs to be restarted for it to work again (turning the plugin on/off doesn't help).
I hope someone can give me some advice since the problem's becoming quite frustrating.
