As a matter of fact, i used to play flash files without nspluginwrapper.
Of course that was before upgrading. Now i installed it and did as you
wrote above.

I got another core dump error. Here is the output:

        root at laptop[0]:/usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper# nspluginwrapper
        -v -a -i

My firefox runs very normal right now but npwiever.bin uses a lot of
cpu. Is it normal? And is there any way to play flash files without
using "nspluginwrapper"?

Thanks
