There seems to be a problem starting with Firefox 52.0.1:
the jazz-plugin seems not to be usable any more.
In the FF plugins list it does no longer show up, and my
javascript code does not detect it any more.
I am using Windows 7/10, and just tested it with
FF 51.0.1. Here it was working without problems.
After update to 52.0.1 the plugin was no more working.
I am using the 32-bit version of FF.
I installed the newest version from jazz-soft:
Jazz-Plugin-1-5.msi
What can I do?
Kind regards
Firefox 52 does not seem to accept the plugin 1-5

Unfortunately, Firefox 52 dropped support for NPAPI plugins.
For a while, you can stay with Firefox 51 or Firefox 45 ESR as explained below:

Older versions of Firefox are available from Mozilla's site:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/51.0.1/
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.8.0esr/
In the nearest future, I'm planning to have a Firefox extension similar to what I have for Chrome.
If you use pure Jazz-Plugin in your projects, I'd advise to switch to JZZ.js library instead.

The problem is solved!
You need to
- install a new version of Jazz-Plugin: http://jazz-soft.net/download/Jazz-Plugin/
- install a Firefox Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... jazz-midi/
- use the latest version of JZZ.js on your website: https://github.com/jazz-soft/JZZ
The add-on is still under the review by Mozilla, but hope it will not take long.

plugin still not accepted by Mozilla?
today, (June, 14, 2017) Firefox does not seem to know the Jazz Plugin any more
I tried to download the plugin from the given url (as given below)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... jazz-midi/
but the link is dead. I did not find the plugin on Mozilla's site by searching
Does this mean, that it will not be signed by Mozilla?
This would be a problem for me. I recommend my users to install the plugin, but it would be a bit suspicious, if they had to install it without it being signed.
And the installation would probably also be too complicated for inexperienced users.
In short: if it does not get signed, I cannot use it
(my site: free-notes.net)
What shall I do?

Mozilla approval process happened to be more painful than I expected.
You can download it for manual install at http://jazz-soft.net/download/Jazz-Plugin/1.5.1/

The add-on is finally approved by Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... jazz-midi/
