Hello! To day, I install Firefox Developer Edition!

But, plugins (not addons) can't worked in Developer Edition. Yest, versions of browsers is different, but, me need using Google Talk Plugin in Developer Edition.

I use Linux / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit

See screenshot. This browsers using one folder with plugins, in my system is: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

P.S. Sorry for my English. :)

hi MaxQNEI, starting with firefox 52 support for npapi plugins is generally dropped except for the adobe flash plugin. this was communicated quite a while ago: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

mozilla is also working with google to power hangouts with standard web technology without the need for plugins: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1311371

Firefox 52.0 ESR which will be based on the Firefox 52.0 Release will allow other Plugins still I think.

Developer Edition aka Aurora is not really a version but one of four main development channels so by using a 52.0a2 build you are seeing this change sooner. The Aurora and Nightly channels also gets checkins almost everyday so they get a update each of those days. This can sometimes lead to issues until fixed, finished, or reverted.

Release < Beta (b#) < Aurora (a2) < Nightly (a1)
