I read this (a while back :) and I meant to report that yeah, it was only
FF3 that was doing the wrapping (via nspluginwrapper) and that after
further inspection it's the wrapped "npviewer.bin" that was failing (under
FF3). I reset my paths to run 32-bit plugins "natively" under X86_64 Opera
9.5(1).

(Now I've got another question for 64-bit in my next E-mail)
