Bonjour,

I just removed the 32 bit version of nspluginwrapper, either in 32 or 64 bit
systems.

sudo rpm -e nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-18.fc8.i386

This wrapper appeared in F8, and firefox 32 just gets more unstable with the
wrapper
installed than without it, in my opinion.

After doing that, just check if the directory
/usr/lib/mozilla/pluging-wrapped is gone.
I noticed that in 64 bit systems, it remains there, even after deleting the
rpm.
In this case, I also removed the directory.

Anyway, you can always reinstall the rpm afterwards, if you want.
