Thanks Paul, I am on amd64 and I think this means no more firefox-bin
which is great. *I'm getting this after upgrading netscape-flash and
visiting youtube.com with firefox (no -bin):
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[/home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot make segment
writable for relocation: Permission denied]
Do I need to re-emerge firefox or could this have to do with my
hardened kernel settings?

That looks suspiciously like its to do with your hardened setup.
I too have 64bit FF and 64 flash working nicely here, so glad to be done with nspluginwrapper, which barely ever worked for me anyway

netscape-flash only works once
