nspluginwrapper is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape
4 (NPAPI) plugins. It separates the execution environment of the
plugin from the browser, allowing a plugin compiled for one ABI to
be used in a browser compiled for another.
For example the linux 32bit Adobe Flash plugin can be used in a
native Firefox under Linux/x86_64, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD
platforms.
To install the Linux flash player into a native Firefox browser:
- Also install multimedia/adobe-flash-player and
multimedia/libflashsupport
- Run "nspluginwrapper -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so"
- Run Firefox
You do not need nspluginwrapper if the ABI of the plugin and browser are the
same, such as running a 32 bit Linux firefox and flash plugin under NetBSD.

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
