I've written an NPAPI plugin which, if I place it in %ProgramFiles\Mozilla FireFox\plugins, instantiates and runs correctly. However, because I'd like it to work with other browsers as well, my preference would be to register it in HKLM\Software\MozillaPlugins\, as described here. So in my installer, I create these registry entries: ...

I'm developing an application (download manager-type) on OS X that I would like to integrate with the major Mac browers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Camino) via the Mozilla plug-in API, NPAPI.

Firstly, the plugin execution would hang and after a long harrowing time I figured out that the call to NPN_Evaluate hangs when the last parameter (for the returned result) is NULL. It works on Fi...
Hey all, I'm developing a cross-platform NPAPI+XPCOM extension for Firefox and Google Chrome (Windows, Linux and Mac). I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the best practices of handling component crashes. As I understand it, currently Mozilla's Crash Reporter submits mini-dumps and crash reports created to Mozilla Dev. I ex...

The problem is: I want to use one object id, such as id="MyObject", which will be defined in both object tags (for the ActiveX or NPAPI) so that my Javascript calls the object MyObject dir...

I would like to be able to, after the NPAPI dll finishes its work, create a new tab which would open to the newly generated XML page. Can anyone help me out ...
Hey guys, My question is very simple: Is it possible to pack plugins into extensions for Safari? For instance, the exact NPAPI plugins which work on Google Chrome also work on Safari. However in Chrome I'm shipping the plugins as a part of an extension (a CRX package). This is needed because HTML and JavaScript is injected into a specif...
