One would rather like to think so, yes. :-} > ... > > and re-started firefox; same symptoms. > > Do you have Adblock, Flashblock, or NoScript installed in Firefox? I've had NoScript installed for ... a couple of months or so.

I tried that -- it brought in: Installation of devel/libcxxrt (libcxxrt-20131225_1) Installation of devel/libc++ (libc++-208080) Installation of lang/p5-Error (p5-Error-0.17022) Installation of converters/p5-MIME-Base64 (p5-MIME-Base64-3.14) Installation of devel/cvsps (cvsps-2.1_1) Installation of mail/p5-Net-SMTP-SSL (p5-Net-SMTP-SSL-1.01_2) Installation of security/p5-GSSAPI (p5-GSSAPI-0.28) Installation of security/p5-Authen-SASL (p5-Authen-SASL-2.16) Installation of devel/git (git-2.1.2) Installation of devel/argp-standalone (argp-standalone-1.3_2) Installation of sysutils/prelink (prelink-20111012_1) Installation of emulators/wine-compholio (wine-compholio-1.7.29,1) Installation of ftp/wget (wget-1.15_2) Installation of sysutils/flock (flock-2.19) Installation of devel/libnotify (libnotify-0.7.5_1) Installation of x11/zenity (zenity-2.32.1_3) Installation of emulators/pipelight (pipelight-0.2.7.3_5) Then, when I first tried "pipelight-plugin --update" I got an error: ERROR: cannot verify bitbucket.org's certificate, issued by '/C=US/O=DigiCert Inc/OU=www.digicert.com/CN=DigiCert High Assurance EV CA-1': Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority. So I found that pipelight-plugin is a bash script, copied it to /tmp, hacked it: g1-252(10.1-P)[38] diff -u `which pipelight-plugin` /tmp/pipelight-plugin --- /usr/local/bin/pipelight-plugin 2014-07-19 20:26:50.000000000 -0700 +++ /tmp/pipelight-plugin 2014-10-27 15:06:49.000000000 -0700 @@ -634,7 +634,7 @@ if command -v wget >/dev/null 2>&1; then download_file() { - wget -O "$1" "$2" + wget --no-check-certificate -O "$1" "$2" } elif command -v fetch >/dev/null 2>&1; then download_file() g1-252(10.1-P)[39] and then: * sudo /tmp/pipelight-plugin --remove-mozilla-plugins * sudo /tmp/pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins * sudo /tmp/pipelight-plugin --update and I seem to have working Flash now. I'm not quite sure that this qualifies as "success," exactly.... :-} Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill [email protected] Taliban: Evil cowards with guns afraid of truth from a 14-year old girl.
