click to play and addons using npapi plugin

I have a addon that uses npapi plugin in background page ...and because of click to play feature the plugin is not enabled in nightlies as designed..
But i think when the browser detects addons\extension and prompt to activate it ...it should also allow the plugin which it depends on to activate it... There should be some way to activate when the addon/extension is detected ..... There is also js-ctypes but i don't think there is any benefit or need to rewrite again everything....as its just another native interface... can this feature\support be added for addons that depend on npapi plugins...
in addons, plugin is loaded in background page...which is hidden ....so there is no notification for it....I have to go in plugins and enable it from there to make it work....how will end user know this if he installs my addon..and plus this will be bad.... That icon you are saying will work for normal pages using plugins...... Last edited by rajesh2013 on October 25th, 2013, 1:17 am, edited 1 time in total.
I don't know what you mean with "addons plugin". What extension or plugin are you talking about?
gone
firefox addon made usign firefox addon sdk....
here is sample addon which does this....
https://github.com/oliverguenther/broadmask-firefox below is the bg page which loads a npapi plugin......this is how i am also doing https://github.com/oliverguenther/broad ... round.html Elbart did you get my point ...any updates on this...
Or can any firefox admin or developer update me on this With the current rendition of Click-to-Play your plugin loading in a background page just ain't gonna work.
Overall, your question isn't appropriate for this Firefox Features forum. It is more of a development question, more suitable in a different forum. Like maybe here: viewforum.php?f=27 I suggest you look for a Mozilla Development discussion where the Firefox developers hang out to discuss Plugin issues. http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.
how can this topic be moved to development directly ![]() I'll move it there now...

Win-7-HP/IntelĀ® DualCore-2.0GHz/500G HDD/4 Gig Ram/550Watt PSU/350WattUPS/Firefox-20.0-62.0-70.0/T-bird-2.0.0.24/SnagIt-v10.0.1/MWP-7.12. (Always choose the "Custom" Install.) Mozilla dev's please comment because its a very important issue which is creating problem to my addon to work for future versions of
Firefox with click to play support....I have to make sure that my addon will work with this feature on....
