Nspluginwrapper does not alway close out properly after a flash control is unloaded in Firefox, often causing the browser to hang, or in extreme instances it will overload the audio stack and disallow other programs access until the offending processes are terminated. Also resizing a Mozilla Firefox window will cause the browser to hang. The version of Firefox being used is irrelevant.

It's considered beta software (hence why it probably won't be taken out of ~amd64 anytime soon). These are all known bugs in it, but upstream is pretty slow about releases. I don't have the time to try and debug this, but I certainly will accept patches.
Reopening to close as FIXED, the latest one (0.9.91.2) is considerably more stable than previous releases.
