I'm quite sure we used to have the x86-64 version too

</I>&gt;<i> Anybody more knowledgeable on nspluginwrapper care to share his opinion, or

</I>
It used to be a good way to separate plugin execution into another
process which is good for security/stability but browsers include that
feature now

&gt;<i> Also are there good reasons to still use nspluginwraper for flash player at

</I>&gt;<i> flash-player-plugin is available as native i586 and x86_64 plugins?
</I>
Indeed it is now less useful
