Evidently, from URL:

nspluginwrapper is currently the only means to run a plugin in a browser

and thus appears to address the issue I have raised in a different
thread. I have found:
nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-1.el6_3.x86_64.rpm - A compatibility layer for
Netscape 4 plugins
Does anyone have experience with this adaptation layer compatibility
insert? If so, good, bad, and is it reliable?

Hi Yasha,
The only thing I tried to use it for was acrobat reader. Flash
and Java all have 64 bit plug ins. I never got it to work right.
It is a mute point now that Firefox 19 has a build in PDF reader.
It wont do fill in forms, but you just download a copy and
run acroread.

This is disappointing news in that a number of the plugins we need do
not appear to have x86-64 bit plugins. However, my previous solution
(run a full IA-32 Firefox under a x86-64 linux) is no longer properly
working. As/if we find workarounds or support for media that requires
plugins, I will post these back to the list.

Which plugins are you having problems with?
