I ran the following commands, which returned no errors:

I restarted Firefox and ensured that the change took place by finding nspluginwrapper was listed in "about:plugins".

However, there is a problem.

The good news: Firefox seems to be more stable, and has not crashed since running the above commands.

The bad news: Videos no longer play in Firefox. If I go to Youtube, or any site with embedded video, the space where the video should be is completely black, and there is no sound, and no controls. The video is completely dead.
