x86_64:weird firefox+nspluginwrapper-flash issue

I've installed the latest Firefox version for arch64. Along with it I've installed nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flash from aur.
Now comes the issue:
about:plugins shows that these are installed, but when I go to a site with flash I get nothing where the flash objects should be. Using epiphany, which is also gecko based, flash works flawlessly.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Cheers!

Flash is working fine here in Firefox. Are there any errors appearing on the console?

I used to use Arch64, but like you I got problems the last time I used nspluginwrapper. Except, unlike you, the flash was there and it worked fine except there was no sound I didn't know what happened because the last two times I installed it there was sound.

i had that sound thingy, too
got fixed by installing lib32-alsa-lib from AUR.
however it didnt work immediately, after 2 or 3 restarts is suddenly recognized that flash was playing sound ...
maybe this issue is also in connection with the privileges of your user ... try    "usermod -a -G audio USERNAME"

It's not audio related. I'm already in group "audio". Weird, to say the least.
