Firefox apparently does not implement whatever GTK3 support the plugin
needs.  I might need to poke a couple upstream bug reports so that the
plugin at least shows an error message instead of freezing.

It does work reasonably well in epiphany browser.

found browser-plugin-evince/3.21.4-1
thanks

The used version of firefox-esr is 45.3.0esr-1~deb8u1

A file which cannot be opened is, e.g.,
http://www.math.chalmers.se/~palbin/rickard.ps

The browser hangs for a few minutes, then the blank tab is displayed.

In fact, no postscript file can be opened from the browser.
