We are hoping to make some major improvements to the Gecko's Mac OS X plugin architecture.

Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements

  • (DONE) 344425 - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
  • (DONE) 336060 - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
  • (DONE) 344427 Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. This will allow plugins to draw using CoreGraphics instead of Quickdraw.

Gecko 2.0 Plugin Improvements

  • 347511 - support .webplugin plugins

Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models Spec

Mac:NPAPI_Drawing_Models contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, which happens to solve the problem of 64-bit plugins on Mac OS X. The spec is close to final, however last-minute changes may occur.
