Comment #4 on issue 15835 by kevin.ra...@ntlworld.com: nptest.dll plugin  
not loading in chrome

Both the nptest.dll (which is a cut down version of my real plugin) and my  
real
plugin work if I copy the plugin files to the \Program Files\Mozilla  
Firefox\plugins
directory.  So that seems to prove that the plugin itself is OK.

So, the problem seems to be in the packaging.  Either (a) my .CRX is  
packaged
incorrectly, or (b) Chrome's processing of CRX files with regard to NPAPI  
plugins
is no longer functioning correctly.

My .CRX used to install and run correctly on the dev-channel version of  
Chrome,
until the latest version.

The .CRX file has not changed in any significant way.  That is, the  
manifest.json
has not changed significantly, and the plugin files that are packaged in  
the .CRX
file (ie 2 .dll's and 2 .exe's) obviously work, given the above successful  
test.

Is there something deficient in my manifest.json ?
