In this day and age, this one should probably be last-rited. I'm sorry
to say I don't really use any of the others. :|

@mozilla, any comments?  I can't really figure out what I meant but I suppose you may know how useful it is these days.

Figured it doesn't sound like myself.  Could you give me some elaboration on this for last rite message?
Comment 4 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2019-03-15 22:14:18 UTC
Well it's not my package but I believe NPAPI support was dropped from Firefox sometime before v60 and Chrome-based browsers dropped NPAPI support ages ago so it probably doesn't work at all. Plus the fact that browsers have had native support for common media formats for years now anyway.
