I am running Firefox 52.0 and currently have both Flash and the Cisco H.264 plugins (according to about:plugins). So the H.264 must not be NPAPI or there is another exception. Since the H.264 plugin is a part of the Firefox distribution, I suspect it is a special case, a rather important one on the same level as Flash. (Really more important.) Today (or, maybe yesterday) version 52.0 was declared the new ESR release, replacing 45.8. Since I don't run ESR, I have not looked into the state of the ESR port for FreeBSD. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: [email protected] PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
