Not sure which list to address this.
I use nspluginwrapper-1.4.4_3 with firefox,
as per Handbook. Just noticed that I have 174!
npviewer.bin processes after firefox is closed.
Is this expected?
The processes consume a large chunk of memory,
and refuse to disapper. I can kill them one by
one, but...
The processes are:
$ ps axwwdd | grep npview
2123 3 S 0:00.07 |-- /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin --plugin /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so --connection /org/wrapper/NSPlugins/libflashplayer.so/1295-2/1804289383
2124 3 S 0:00.07 |-- /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin --plugin /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so --connection /org/wrapper/NSPlugins/libflashplayer.so/1295-2/1804289383
...
and a further 142 processes.
Anybody else is seeing this?
This is a dual core laptop:
