OK. I will see if I can produce a cut-down version of my plugin and
submit a bug.
Done. Raised as Issue 15835 NPAPI Plugin support appears to be

Will do.

My plugin stopped working as of the beginning of this week.
This is peculiar, as I have not changed anything of significance in
the plugin, and the plugin still runs fine under Firefox.
My .CRX file appears to successfully install the plugin files into C:
\Documents and Settings\username\Local

The problem is security. NPAPI plug-ins can run arbitrary code on
your machine. If we made it easier to install NPAPI plug-ins than to
run EXEs, all the malware authors would flock to NPAPI just like
they've flocked to ActiveX in the past, which used to be (still is?)
easier to install
This page seems to list this property as supported in Safari, but not IE or
Firefox:http://aptana.com/reference/html/api/HTML.field.pluginspage.html

Can you create a test page that works differently in Firefox and
Chrome? If so, that's a strong argument that we should change our
behavior to match Firefox.
Yes, I have been using such pages for the past 2 weeks in an endeavour
to get my NPAPI Plugin to download over the internet under
And it sounds like you've used it in IE as well?
No.
For IE, I use the HTML OBJECT tag and the codebase property, to load
an ActiveX control equivalent of my NPAPI Plugin.
For Firefox (and hopefully Chrome at some point), I use the HTML EMBED
tag and the pluginspage property, to load my NPAPI

OK. Thanks for the information.
Before I proceed to build an independent installer, please can you
advise
whether or not there are any plans for Chrome to provide such a
mechanism
for automatic NPAPI Plugin downloads at some point in the future ?

So what is the recommended way to download and install an NPAPI Plugin
over the internet under Chrome ?
