So where does that leave us on Universal OS X builds? IIRC our blocker is

(Reminder: killing Universal OS X packages will make automation builds
significantly faster and will reduce the DMG size by almost half.)
I don't know the status of 32-bit Silverlight on OS X, but we're shipping
Widevine support in Firefox 47 (for Windows 7+ and OS X 10.6+). Streaming
services will have an easy migration path from Silverlight to their
existing Widevine player code.
That said, I don't expect the long-tail of streaming services to complete
this transition before the end of 2016, when we already plan to drop NPAPI
plugins.
Fair enough.
So what's the last Firefox release to support NPAPI plugins? 50? 51?
We're tentatively planning to remove NPAPI support (for plugins other
than Flash) in 53 because 52 is the next ESR. We'd like ESR 52 to
support NPAPI as a transition option for enterprise users that rely on Java.
