Interesting. This hasn't been the case for me at all. I'd be
interested in possibly trying it out but I don't find the
nspluginwrapper. Also I need a Java solution that works correctly at
one specific site. So far the blackdown ones don't. The sun-jre-bin
does but only emerges in the 32-bit environment again. mplayer-bin or
mplayer?
lightning ~ # emerge -pv nspluginwrapper netscape-flash mplayer-bin
mplayerplug-in
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "nspluginwrapper".

Yeah. I'm using Firefox but having more trouble with it crashing lately....
