Well, I tried:

1) yum update nspluginwrapper
Package nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-5.fc9.i386 already installed and latest 
version
Nothing to do

2) mozilla-plugin-config -i
NPP_GetValue()
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so: 
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0

So there seems to be a problem?
