Seems nspluginwrapper -v -a -i is harmful rather than helpful.
Two laptops, both with 10.1-stable.
Running nspluginwrapper -v -a -i on one laptop I get:
$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

and flash does *not* work!
Insted I get these errors:

If I do rm -rf ~/.mozilla/plugins, then flash does work.
It's the exact opposite of the handbook and of what's expected.
What's going on?
