Are you guys using nspluginwrapper-devel?
Since I started using it I have no more freezes in firefox and no more
dangling npviewer.bin processes. YouTube plays fine for as many videos as I
want.
By the way, I never experienced system freezes even when I was using a non-
devel wrapper. Only firefox froze with watching flash videos. All I had to do
was to kill it and kill the npviewer.bins.
My system:
FreeBSD Papi 8.2-STABLE Tue May 3 13:17:39 BRT 2011 amd64
NVIDIA Driver Version: 270.41.06
device = 'NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (G92)'
