Moreover, since new Firefox platforms do not have to support an existing ecosystem of users and plugins, new platforms such as 64-bit Firefox for Windows will launch without plugin support.īecause Adobe Flash is still a common part of the Web experience for most users, we will continue to support Flash within Firefox as an exception to the general plugin policy. This decision mirrors actions by other modern browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, which have already removed support for legacy plugins.

Firefox began this process several years ago with manual plugin activation, allowing users to activate plugins only when they were necessary.
Mozilla intends to remove support for most NPAPI plugins in Firefox by the end of 2016. Plugins are a source of performance problems, crashes, and security incidents for Web users. As browsers and the Web have grown, NPAPI has shown its age. Features such as clipboard access which used to require plugins are now available via native Web APIs. Mozilla continues to prioritize features that will make it possible for sites to switch away from plugins. Streaming video, advanced graphics, and gaming features have all become native Web APIs in the past few years. We may be able to come to an agreement for a revenue share, and reduce the number of similar extensions.Mozilla has been steadily improving the Web platform to support features that were once only available via NPAPI plugins. If you have an idea for, or an implementation of, enhancements, I encourage you see whether they can be incorporated into my extension rather than publishing your own fork.

The advantage of this licence is that it both retains the enhanced debugging, customisation, risk-mitigation, and community development of Free/Open Source software (its most important features IMHO), while making it practical for developers to earn a living directly from their software (or their documentation writing, or their marketing nous). You can release your own modified or unmodified version, and charge what you like, as long as you keep the same licence, which means complying with point 2 and forwarding AUD $20 to me for each production installation.

The cost of an update is the difference between the costs of the versions you are upgrading between.
