nspluginwrapper allows you to run these plugins (at least flash) with
a 64 bit browser. Plus, it has the added benefit that the plugin will
run outside the browser process, thus, if it crashes it shouldn't take
the browser with it. Actually I don't know why isn't nspluginwrapper
used even on the x86 fedora, AFAICS there are only benefits on its
use.
