I *think* I may have tracked down the problem, at least on my system.
I'm using F11-x86_64 and it appears nspluginwrapper hasn't properly
wrapped any of my 32-bit plugins. In any case, I used the "Config
Editor" to toggle "application.use_ns_plugin_finder" to "false" and it
appears to have fixed things. Is your netbook running 64-bit Fedora?
