Where is the DjVu plugin for FF?

Post by Hans L »

I have the DjVu plugin installed on my computer, but I see no trace of it in FF 54.0.1 64-bit Add-ons. Does FF use it, and, if so, how, if it is not in Add-ons.

Thanks,

Hans L

Firefox Releases since Fx 52.0 have only allowed the Flash Player Plugin to run in Firefox whether on Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux.

If you want other NPAPI Plugins on your system to run in Firefox you need Firefox 52 ESR. Even then you need the 32-bit Firefox 52 ESR and 32-bit Plugins in order to use other Plugins besides Flash Player and Silverlight on Windows even though you have 64-bit Windows.

Note the NPAPI Plugins are not installed into Firefox like Extensions and complete Themes are. Any Plugins you do have running in Firefox is listed in about:plugins with the location they are on system.
