MythBrowser using QtWebKit. QtWebKit looks in many different locations 
for Netscape plugins. A list of the locations can be found at 
<http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.5/qtwebkit.html#netscape-plugin-support>.

Also, you might consider trying the 64-bit preview of Flash Player 
"Square" at <http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html>.
