In the present state of 64-bit architecture, the lack of 64-bit plugins can cause difficulties while browsing the internet. A new initiative makes the use of the existing 32-bit plugins possible in 64-bit Mozilla browsers.

The necessary software is developed by Gwenolé Beauchesne under the GNU General Public License (GPL) by the name nspluginwrapper. At present, by using the software, the following 32-bit plubins become available for use under 64 bits:

Acrobat Reader (5.0.9 and 7.0.1) DejaVu Libre (3.5.14) Flash Player (7.0) Linux JPEG 2000 (0.0.2) Mplayerplug-in (2.80) Real Player (10.0.5)
