 Regardless of what one may think about nspluginviewer, the Adobe plugin is a 
problem.

 I seriously doubt that, or you don't get the XtRemoveTimeout() crash that 
happens for everything that does not claim to be Firefox?

 But anyway, if you're so convinced it's better than nspluginviewer, why don't 
you simply suggest replacing it? If it really is better, I don't think 
anybody would mind.
