This policy outlines how Mozilla handles plugins offered through the plugin finder service, PFS.

Mozilla Bundled Plugins

A bundled plugin is defined as a plugin in which an installation to handle unknown content is presented and installed on-demand, with minimal interaction from the user.

Criteria for becoming a Bundled Plugin

  • Very wide use
  • Proven stable and reliable
  • Much content will be unsupported without the plugin
  • Supported by vendors who work directly with Mozilla

Example Bundled Plugins

  • Flash Player

Mozilla Trusted Plugins
