Flash Player 25.0.0.127 Released

So how does Flash / Shockwave and Java work in the latest Firefox ? ? Everything is embedded ? ? We know some videos are going HTML5 but a lot of game sites have not done so yet and many still use Java for things like crossword puzzles.

Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work?

Beginning in Firefox version 52, support for NPAPI plugins in Firefox has ended, except for Adobe Flash. Some of the plugins that will no longer load include Java, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Acrobat. See this compatibility document for details.

Over the past few years, Firefox has implemented various Web APIs so that websites can do the same things they’ve always done without plugins, so you will most likely not notice any change to your browsing experience.
....
In case you’re not yet ready for this transition to happen, the ESR (Extended Support Release) of Firefox 52 will continue to support these plugins until early 2018.

Important: The Windows 64-bit version of Firefox 52 ESR only supports the Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If you also need support for Java or other plugins, choose the Windows (32-bit) download.
 
Well on my XP box Firefox will stop supporting XP installs around FF53 or so. As to the browser itself, I only use the 32 bit version. No real need for the 64 bit at this time. As long as web sites that currently rely on Flash (some videos or games) or those that rely on Java (mainly bank / financial sites) can still work after the NPAPI support is removed then that will be fine. It is time for Adobe Flash to die anyway.
