The latest version of Mozilla Firefox, version 52, drops support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI). Plugins such as the EZVIZ plugin, Silverlight, Java, and Acrobat are no longer supported. The EZVIZ Web App uses the EZVIZ plugin to access authenticated streaming video from EZVIZ devices, and since EZVIZ plugin no longer works on Firefox 52, Firefox users are blocked from loading the plugin and always redirected to the service plugin download page. Please note that customers using Firefox 51 or earlier are not affected.

Firefox users may download and install Firefox 52 ESR (Extended Support Release) which still supports the EZVIZ plugin.
