Fixed link so that people without editbugs don't get redirected to the guided form. Thanks glob!
1. '''Plugins blocked by default'''. Plugins will soon be blocked by default in Firefox. We will provide users with the choice of activating any and all plugins that we block as they come across pages that use them.
2. '''Applying for inclusion on the plugin whitelist'''. Plugin authors may apply for inclusion on a whitelist that will exempt their plugin from being blocked by default by filing a request in the Bugzilla system using [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?alias=&assigned_to=benjamin%40smedbergs.us&attach_text=&blocked=&bug_file_loc=&bug_ignored=0&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&cf_blocking_b2g=---&cf_crash_signature=&cf_status_b2g18=---&cf_status_b2g_1_1_hd=---&cf_status_b2g_1_2=---&cf_status_b2g_1_3=---&cf_status_b2g_1_3t=---&cf_status_b2g_1_4=---&cf_status_firefox27=---&cf_status_firefox28=---&cf_status_firefox29=---&cf_status_firefox30=---&cf_status_firefox_esr24=---&cf_tracking_b2g18=---&cf_tracking_b2g_v1_2=---&cf_tracking_b2g_v1_3=---&cf_tracking_firefox27=---&cf_tracking_firefox28=---&cf_tracking_firefox29=---&cf_tracking_firefox30=---&cf_tracking_firefox_esr24=---&cf_tracking_firefox_relnote=---&cf_tracking_relnote_b2g=---&comment=%3C%3CPlease%20supply%20the%20following%20information%20for%20new%20plugin%20whitelist%20requests%3E%3E%0D%0A%0D%0APlugin%20name%3A%20%0D%0AVendor%3A%20%0D%0APoint%20of%20contact%3A%20%0D%0ACurrent%20version%3A%20%0D%0ADownload%20URL%3A%20%0D%0ASample%20URL%20of%20plugin%20in%20use%3A%20%20%0D%0A%0D%0APlugin%20details%3A%0D%0A%0D%0A%3C%3CFor%20each%20affected%20operating%20system%2C%20please%20copy%20the%20plugin%20information%20from%20about%3Aplugins%20in%20Firefox%3E%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AAre%20there%20any%20variations%20in%20the%20plugin%20file%20name%2C%20MIME%20types%2C%20description%2C%20or%20version%20from%20one%20release%20to%20the%20next%3F%0D%0A%0D%0AAre%20there%20any%20known%20security%20issues%20in%20current%20or%20older%20versions%20of%20the%20plugin%3F&component=Plugin%20Click-To-Activate%20Whitelist&contenttypeentry=&contenttypemethod=autodetect&contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain&data=&defined_groups=1&dependson=&description=&flag_type-203=X&flag_type-37=X&flag_type-41=X&flag_type-5=X&flag_type-607=X&flag_type-720=X&flag_type-721=X&flag_type-737=X&flag_type-748=X&flag_type-781=X&flag_type-787=X&flag_type-791=X&flag_type-799=X&flag_type-800=X&flag_type-803=X&flag_type-809=X&flag_type-825=X&flag_type-835=X&flag_type-836=X&flag_type-842=X&form_name=enter_bug&keywords=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=All&priority=--&product=Firefox&qa_contact=&rep_platform=All&requestee_type-203=&requestee_type-41=&requestee_type-5=&requestee_type-607=&requestee_type-748=&requestee_type-781=&requestee_type-787=&requestee_type-791=&requestee_type-800=&short_desc=&status_whiteboard=&target_milestone=---&version=Trunk &format=__default__ this template]. Each required field on the template must be completed before your application will be considered. Most importantly, the application must describe a credible plan the applicant is pursuing to migrate away from NPAPI-based plugins. Mozilla will evaluate the application and should it be accepted, the plugin will be whitelisted for 4 Firefox releases (for a total of 30 weeks 6 weeks in the Beta channel and 24 weeks on our general release channel). Inclusion in the whitelist will be at Mozilla’s sole discretion. Whitelist membership can be withdrawn at any time if we deem it to be in the best interest of our users.
3. '''Application window'''. The initial application window will be open until March 31st, 2014. Any application received prior to the end of this period will be reviewed and considered before plugins are blocked by default in Firefox. Applications received after this date will be processed as soon as a team of reviewers can get to them and, if accepted, added to the whitelist as soon as possible.
