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?
