On all major platforms they have native plugin of either NPAPI and PPAPI flavor. Only niche platforms still need nspluginwrapper. After a bit more testing I've tried to summarize the bug in order to get feedback from other BSD and Linux folks https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=860592 > In Epiphany YouTube still works. While Firefox uses IPC code based on Chromium it's now quite modified and out of date with upstream. Epiphany (webkit) and Opera probably use different implementatios to push plugins out-of-process. > HTML5 is still too buggy, Why none are reported? Are you implying 20121010 in UPDATING ? Perhaps, not being default and to have a known issue wasn't enough discouragement for users to not enable ARIFF_OSS option. > and not available for all videos, Try using fullscreen playlist trick: 1/ generate a playlist or use an existing one 2/ enter fullscreen mode 3/ move within playlist to the flash-only video (those with ads) or check userscripts.org. > Also severe audio-video de-sync occurs when it is possible to > start video in YouTube in Firefox (or lagging in reaction, sound is > still on several seconds after closing youtube tab). It's a bug in OSS backend for libsydneyaudio. But the library is going to be removed with Firefox 22, anyway. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=852401 >>How-To-Repeat: > Try to watch youtube in firefox with nspluginwrapper-1.4.4 and > linux-f10-flashplugin-11.2r202.275. Try to do the same on linux i.e., disable native flash plugin and use nspluginwrapper. >>Fix: > Set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false in about:config of Firefox. nspluginwrapper by itself may not provide enough security: http://nspluginwrapper.org/why.html
