“Flash content is so common on the Web, and many websites use “hidden” Flash instances that the user does not see and cannot click on: making Flash click-to-play would be confusing for most users,” Benjamin Smedberg, the Firefox engineering manager for stability and plugins, wrote in a Tuesday blog post of his own. As with Chrome, the new feature still allows you to use plug-ins, but you have to explicitly allow them to run.īoth browsers-and IE10-will continue to play Adobe Flash content by default, though Firefox and Chrome. This week, click-to-play functionality arrived in Firefox Aurora, a preview build of the browser that will hit release status in mere weeks. Eventually, Google Chrome security engineer Justin Schuh said Monday in a blog post, “NPAPI support will be completely removed from Chrome.”įirefox is even less enamored with plug-ins. We suggest that you contact the website owners and suggest they change to a more modern, secure. This may be why some of your plugins are no longer working. If you have Silverlight installed but see the prompt To. With the latest update to Chrome, certain types of plugins, known as NPAPI plugins, are longer be available. I have written a NPAPI plugin which works fine with GtkLauncher (comes with webkit) and firefox, but with google-chrome (.151), the plugin is not even showing up in about:plugins. Silverlight is a NPAPI plugin that is currently required to view the online Property Access maps. That’s just a stopgap, though: In May 2014, Google will stop publishing new NPAPI-based plug-ins in the Chrome Web Store, leading up to a complete removal of all NPAPI plug-ins in September. Chrome support for NPAPI plugins no longer available.
Plug-ins may be handy, but they’re also far and away the leading source of browser crashes, hang-ups, and security vulnerabilities.
