nspluginviewer is a Konqueror external tool, not a Firefox one. It has 
supported Flash for years, when it was still made by Macromedia.

Recently, though, Adobe has broken Flash and introduced weird code that 
makes it crash. It's not our fault and our developers are trying very 
hard to solve those issues. Which, without access to the source code or 
cooperation from inside Adobe, is a very thankless job.
