Plugins are used by the overwhelming majority of Firefox users, with the most popular plugins being Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Silverlight, and Oracle's Java (in nor particular order). The majority of plugins are run [[Firefox/Projects/OOPP|out of process], and on OSX some plugins that do not have a 64-bit version available are run in 32-bit mode by default, with other 32-bit plugins requiring a browser restart into 32-bit mode. Enhancements for OOPP are out of scope for this document, and are covered in the [[Electrolysis|Electrolysis]] project page. | |||
Content plugins are listed, with a limited set of descriptive information, in the plugins page of add-on manager. Users can enable or disable plugins from this location, but there is no other functionality currently available. Further information is available from about:plugins, but for the majority of users this additional information is of limited value. | |||

Over the course of the next two-three releases we need to add the functionality of the plugincheck page to the add-on manager, and expand on the information available to the user through it. Ideally, we'll be able to add the ability to (kick off) plugin installation, updates, and removals through the add-on manager, and do so without the need to restart Firefox. | |||
