Therefore, in the present situation of NPAPI is almost standard browser plug-in outside the IE. 1.2 preparations According to the reference data downloaded from /pub//firefox/releases/4.0.1/source/ Firefox in the early stage of the source code, and from out the NPAPI related part (well, data not say in detail). Extract the source code, the modules\plugin\base\public and modules\plugin\sdk\samples\include two files in the directory copied together (I created D:\npapi, the files are placed here). In addition, the data mentioned in the three files in modules\plugin\sdk\samples\common (remember the location, will be used). 1.3 create a plug-in By the way, this paper takes VS2003 as an example.
