I think nspluginwrapper is only useful to "run a plugin in a browser of
a different architecture" than the original one (32-bit), so my question
is, which arch are you using? If you're using a 32-bit OS I'm afraid
there's no much solution to your problem yet, at least not that I know
of (and I swear I've looked for it! :))

As they claim in the website[1], "it is most commonly used to run a
32-bit plugin built for x86 in a 64-bit browser built for x86-64, but
_other combinations_ are _possible with QEMU_"

Could this be the reason why it's not working to you yet?

My 2 cents,
Mario
