On Friday Chad posted and blogged about our proposed plugin whitelisting 
policy.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins/Firefox_Whitelist
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/02/28/update-on-plugin-activation/

The primary goal of this policy is to give plugin vendors who are 
working on moving towards HTML5 solution some additional time to make 
the transition, as well as providing feedback from plugin vendors to our 
web API teams about features missing from the web platform. We will 
continue to preserve user security by keeping engineering and QA 
contacts for each plugin vendor.

Please ask questions/provide feedback by replying to 
mozilla.dev.tech.plugins.
