“But there is a way to enable Java, Silverlight etc NPAPI plugins in Firefox 52 using an about:config setting. Add new Boolean string "plugin.load_flash_only" and set it to false. You can’t work with government if no Java plugin is present,” he explains. “This is important, because some websites are still using Java plug-ins, like for example our government site for signing documents. If there’s a particular NPAPI plugin that you rely on there is (for now) a way to override Firefox defaults and re-enable NPAPI support. Renable NPAPI Plugin Support in Firefox 52 Google Chrome ditched NPAPI support back in 2014 (and the version of Flash that ships pre-bundled uses the newer PPAPI tech).īut it is in Firefox 52, with Mozilla’s first step towards total removal of the technology from its browser, that is likely to impact Linux users the most. Whatever bonuses these plugins, Flash, Silverlight and Java among them, offered have been long since outweighed by the inherent security flaws manipulated to malicious ends. This is a good move in the round as NPAPI is a terribly outdated technology (over 20 years old, in fact).

Make also sure that the button from the same panel/row as “IcedTea-Web Plugin” shows “Disable” – which means the plug-in is Enabled. Now, if you open your Firefox then Tools->Add-ons->Plugins you should see the “IcedTea-Web Plugin” aside other installed plug-ins you might have.

Drop to your console terminal and type the following: Like then when you are configuring your Shockwave Flash plug-in into your Firefox (on Linux), you can configure also the IcedTea plug-in to be used by your Firefox. I had already installed the IcedTea but it seams that my browser was not aware of that or I have no default configuration that will expose the IcedTea plug-in to my browser.
