It's normal, they don't want to use NPAPI anymore
It's good for firefox, almost all plugin use NPAPI
Firefox have bad performance, but it's compatible with all plugins

Don't really care as most of these are not used anyways (except for Unity where I use).

Couldn't you just use Opera or Vivaldi where they use Blink but no removed support? Or Safari where they use WebKit?
