Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Why Ubuntu is using the buggy nspluginwrapper for flashplugin, althought Debian kicked it away months ago (http://packages.debian.org/sid/flashplugin-nonfree) for using the native x86_64 flash plugin?

As a workaround (tested on Lucid), install .DEB from Debian unstable.

I too think that this should be solved. nspluginwrapper is *way* buggier than almost any 64 bit alpha plugin that Adobe released in the last years. It's been quite a while since Debian and Mint moved to the native plugin, why isn't Ubuntu doing the same? This seriously affects the usability of the system on the Internet.
