Well, I deleteted the nspluginwrapper package/port from my system and now it appears that firefox is much happier. I can navigate cnn.com w/o any hangs or other undesirable behavior. So, what do I need nspluginwrapper for these days. I assume for Adobe Flash, but is there anything else I'd be missing if I don't have it installed?
