I think you mean "nspluginwrapper", which is a tool that runs Netscape
compatible plugins in a separate process from the main Firefox process.
The underlying model is sound[1], but since nspluginwrapper is not as
well integrated into the browser — being separately developed — it has
some minor rough edges.
Generally speaking, keeping up to date with the latest release of
nspluginwrapper if you are updating your plugins is a good plan.

Footnotes:
[1] Opera have used it for years, and it works extremely well. Flash
crashing never peturbed the browser, which was good when it did
that approximately every time it was used.
