That is what I did as soon as it was made available, but it is still
pretty dodgy as I say, meaning I occasionally have to use 32bit Firefox
like I did before nspluginwrapper (but at least it lets me use Flash in
Konqueror, with its reloading of crashed plugins).

The message I was replying to says "better yet, the latest version of
gusty has the ubuntu firefox plugin manager installed and it give you
the choice as to which one you can install [Adobe or Gnash].". This
seems to be saying that INSTEAD of nspluginwrapper ("better yet" is
generally used when comparing different implementations) there would be
a Firefox-only solution for the 'Adobe vs. Gnash' problem, whereas
nspluginwrapper is a browser-independant solution for the real problem,
ie. getting Adobe's proprietary plugin running in 64bit browsers.

Now, I may have the wrong idea but it certainly put across that message
to me. If the Firefox plugin manager installs nspluginwrapper then
great, it just didn't sound that way.
