Sorry Karthik but I prefer to keep misc@ cc-ed as it is archived and people will later be able to know that you are a troll when they do a lookup about you.
The page you are refering to mentions three new ports. If you had spent your time doing something as productive as reading the faq instead of talking out of your ass, you'd have learnt that these are optionnal packages that (here's the tricky part:) *DO NOT COME SHIPPED WITH THE OPERATING SYSTEM*. That's right. If you install OpenBSD and start firefox, you'll get a command not found. Then if you install firefox and go to a flash enabled site, you will see nothing. If you have it installed, then it means that at some point YOU decided to download the optional ports infrastructure and explicitely requested installation of the flashplayer. Please, do not comment further as it is annoying and only points out the fact that you don't know what you are talking about and don't know how to read.
