According to Benjamin Smedberg's Oct 8th blog posting,

"Mozilla intends to remove support for most NPAPI plugins in Firefox by the end of 2016."

And "Site maintainers should prepare for plugins to stop working in all versions of Firefox by the end of 2016."

This seems to be a change from earlier assurances that NPAPI support in Firefox was not going away.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
