If Flash crashes, rather than taking out the whole browser as a native plugin (32 or 64 bit) would, only the crashing instance dies. With this setup on 8.04, all Flash applets would die if one crashed. It's still not great, as Flash regularly pegs one core at 100% CPU requiring the offending npviewer.bin process to be killed, but at least the browser survives.
