It was not possible for plug-ins wrapped by nspluginwrapper to discover whether the browser was running in Private Browsing mode.
This flaw could lead to plug-ins wrapped by nspluginwrapper using normal mode while they were expected to run in Private Browsing mode.
(CVE-2011-2486)

This update also fixes the following bug :

  • When using the Adobe Reader™ web browser plug-in provided by the acroread-plugin package on a 64-bit system, opening Portable Document Format (PDF) files in Firefox could cause the plug-in to crash and a black window to be displayed where the PDF should be. Firefox had to be restarted to resolve the issue. This update implements a workaround in nspluginwrapper to automatically handle the plug-in crash, so that users no longer have to keep restarting Firefox.

This will update nspluginwrapper to upstream version 1.4.4.

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
