Bug Description

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

The mentioned process hogs up the cpu after some time. I kill the process and it reloads and starts to behave; there are no ill-effects to killing it, browsers continue to work normally, even flash elements show no problems.
This happens on amd64 arch, in firefox and semonkey.

I recommend getting rid of it nspluginwrapper. There's a a native 64-bit flash plugin now so no need for it. Also, performance improves. Check it out:
