Well, I deleteted the nspluginwrapper package/port from my system and now it
appears that firefox is much happier. I can navigate cnn.com w/o any hangs or
other undesirable behavior. So, what do I need nspluginwrapper for these days.
I assume for Adobe Flash, but is there anything else I'd be missing if I don't
have it installed?
Thanks,
Bob
