That's not nspluginwrapper, but mozplugger which is broken. We generally don't recommend using it, but if you insist then this bug belongs to mozplugger component.

Somewhere, I read that it might be possible that nspluginwrapper wrongly wraps plugins of different architectures. My system is x86_64. I installed 32 bit flash player. I suspect that nspluginwrapper for 32 bit has been installed then too and wrapped--I am not certain--all installed 64 bit plugins in 32 bit. I might be utterly wrong since I do not understand very well the inner workings of this. But what if there something went wrong? In Firefox 5 @ about:plugins I found this: MozPlugger 1.14.2 handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin Datei: nswrapper_64_64.mozplugger.so Version: MozPlugger version 1.14.2, maintained by Louis Bavoil and Peter Leese, a fork of plugger written by Fredrik Hübinette. For documentation on how to configure mozplugger, check the man page. (type man mozplugger) Configuration file: Not found! Helper binary: Not found! Controller binary: Not found! Link launcher binary: Not found! Whereas this other entry can be found: MozPlugger 1.14.2 handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin Datei: mozplugger.so Version: 1.14.2 MozPlugger version 1.14.2, maintained by Louis Bavoil and Peter Leese, a fork of plugger written by Fredrik Hübinette. For documentation on how to configure mozplugger, check the man page. (type man mozplugger) Configuration file: /etc/mozpluggerrc Helper binary: mozplugger-helper Controller binary: mozplugger-controller Link launcher binary: mozplugger-linker Finally, just out of pure curiosity--instead of mozplugger--what do you generally recommend? i cannot reproduce this issue on my test machine. nspluginwrapper* packages are not installed on test machine. Dirk, does it work for you if you remove nspluginwrapper* packages? thanks (In reply to comment #3) > i cannot reproduce this issue on my test machine. nspluginwrapper* packages are > not installed on test machine. > Dirk, does it work for you if you remove nspluginwrapper* packages? > > thanks Meanwhile, I have upgraded to Fedora 16 and Firefox 10.0.1 . I deleted nspluginwrapper. Now, flash,.doc and .xls are displayed in Firefox. Okay, thanks. |
