Re: Firefox ESR with NPAPI

[Calum McConnell]

First of all, this mailing list is specifically for issues with Debian's 
website (which this isn't, not really).  I reccomend emailing debian-user in the
future, as that list is specialized for users of Debian.

It looks like what happened was Jessie got a LTS (long term service)
update, which caused them to drop ARM support in Jesse.

I highly recomend migrating away from NPAPI. It has been deprecated since
2013, and is a significant security risk.

However, since you likley can't, you can find old releases of debian on
archive.debian.org.  In this case, the link
"http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/;
has the .deb you are looking for.

Addtionally, there is a newer version of firefox-esr (still in the 52.x
esr branch), 52.9.0.  It should still support NPAPI, but it contains
several security fixes. That can be found at this link
"http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/;.

You might want to look on snapshot.debian.org - maybe

https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20180608T190620Z/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/firefox-esr_52.8.1esr-1%7Edeb8u1_arm64.deb

Hope this helps,

Firefox ESR with NPAPI

[John Jefferson Calixto Martins]

could you send me this version of firefox? 
(firefox-esr_52.8.1esr-1_deb8u1_arm64.deb) I always downloaded it from the link 
below (it was even saved in my favorites).:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/firefox-esr/download
firefox-esr_52.8.1esr-1_deb8u1_arm64.deb

However the Url is no longer valid and I don't have any copies of this package, 
and I can't find it anywhere on the internet either. I need this package 
because it is one of the latest versions that support NPAPI. If you can make 
the file available to me, I will save it in the cloud (so you don't risk losing 
this rare file).

Thanks for the help.
