Well, what do you know... Following the above suggestions, I uninstalled flashplayer-mozilla, and since Miniclip stopped working, I googled a bit and found the "Debian" way of installing Flash Player -- namely, through backports, as opposed to installing it directly from the Adobe website. And now I've got my Miniclip working smoothly again -- only this time, there's no npviewer.bin to hog my CPU!!
