Version 7 is too old for most youtube videos. They have moved on to version 8 (or 9?), for which there is no released player. There is a package.masked beta version, which you can merge if you unmask it: echo "=net-www/netscape-flash-9.0.21.78" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask emerge -u netscape-flash Note that the beta is 32-bit only, so if you are using an amd64 arch, you will need to merge the 32-bit mozilla-firefox-bin, and symlink libflashplayer.so manually: cd /opt/firefox/plugins ln -s /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/ You can then start the 32-bit firefox with /opt/firefox/firefox.
