Re: Firefox ESR with NPAPI

First of all, this mailing list is specifically for issues with Debian's website (which this isn't, not really).  I reccomend emailing debian-user in the
future, as that list is specialized for users of Debian.

It looks like what happened was Jessie got a LTS (long term service)
update, which caused them to drop ARM support in Jesse.

I highly recomend migrating away from NPAPI. It has been deprecated since
2013, and is a significant security risk.

However, since you likley can't, you can find old releases of debian on
archive.debian.org.  In this case, the link
"http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/"
has the .deb you are looking for.

Addtionally, there is a newer version of firefox-esr (still in the 52.x
esr branch), 52.9.0.  It should still support NPAPI, but it contains
several security fixes. That can be found at this link
"http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/".
