Are you guys using nspluginwrapper-devel?

Since I started using it I have no more freezes in firefox and no more=20
dangling npviewer.bin processes. YouTube plays fine for as many videos as I=
=20
want.

By the way, I never experienced system freezes even when I was using a non-
devel wrapper. Only firefox froze with watching flash videos. All I had to =
do=20
was to kill it and kill the npviewer.bins.

My system:

=46reeBSD Papi 8.2-STABLE Tue May  3 13:17:39 BRT 2011 amd64
NVIDIA Driver Version: 270.41.06
device     =3D 'NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (G92)'
