So at least until the NPAPI support code is removed completely Jmol-Java should still run with it. And it also enables the 64-bit Java-Plugin on Windows, providing more RAM for Jmol if needed.
I havn't tested 'Waterfox 52' yet but the release notes say that the restriction of NPAPI support to FLASH were removed.
