[Bug 247682] Re: beta flash/ firefox crash

I'm anticipating that 64bit users will not notice crashes on these sites
- presumably because of nspluginwrapper. Following from my earlier
proposal to use nspluginwrapper on 32bit Ubuntu (to fix PulseAudio &
libflashsupport problems, see bug #192888), I have created a thread on
the Ubuntu Forums with instructions to test the i386 nspluginwrapper
package here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856764

My rationale for using nspluginwrapper is simple: if Adobe Flash itself
has a bug, we cannot fix the bug directly, as it is a closed source
product. If we can mitigate or stop crashes using nspluginwrapper,
however, then it should be considered for use on all architectures. From
my testing of nspluginwrapper i386 on affected sites, these crashes have
completely stopped and Flash content appears to work correctly.
