Summarizing.
1) WebCrypto does not initially plan support for making end-user
certificates available.
2) Our use case, currently implemented as a NPAPI plug-in, needs Mozilla to
continue supporting NPAPI until WebCrypto makes end-user certficates
available.
You forgot:
3) Mozilla doesn't plan to abandon NPAPI any time soon, in fact Benkamin
Smedberg, who is in charge of the engineering around plugins and
therefore around NPAPI, said "for desktop Firefox, NPAPI is likely to be
around for the predictable future (three years?)" - even if it will be
behind a click-to-activate mechanism (that also allows users to activate
a specific plugin for the long run).
You're well-advised to try and move as much of your code away from NPAPI
as possible, but NPAPI is not in danger of going away for you in desktop
Firefox.
