Well, the first question's answer I leave to your discretion!  :)

After reinstalling nspluginwrapper it works well in Mozilla Seahorse, 
but not in Firefox, although it is visible in both plugin directories.

About choosing a distro, that is personal. I have worked for years with 
SuSe, but it's peculiar directory structure made me switch to RedHat and 
later Fedora. This year I switched to Ubuntu and I still like it. I can 
work from the CL (most of the time) but the programs I use (standard 
office work, music editing, etc) are really stable and good. I miss 
dearly a good music notation program wherefore I use XP and Finale in a 
VirtualBox. In my opinion ubuntu maintains packages somewhat better than 
I experienced with Fedora. Of course I'm accustomed much more to RPM 
than .deb but in reality they don't differ and I switched rather easily.
With the current distributions you can not choose wrong.
But it is just my opinion.
