Steps to reproduce:

<<Please supply the following information for new plugin whitelist requests>>

This is a request in relation to bug 985640 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=985640) where we got a whitelist for Firefox on Mac OS X but we also need it for Firefox on Linux and Windows platforms. 


Plugin name: F5 Networks Firepass Host Plugin (on Windows), F5 Networks Inspection Host Plugin (on Linux) and F5 Networks Access Plugin (on Linux) 
Vendor: F5 Networks
Point of contact: Daphne won
Current version: Many versions
Download URL: Each Appliance has its own version
Sample URL of plugin in use:  Every enterprise uses different URLs

Plugin details:
The F5 SSL VPN Plugin is used to provide VPN access to customers. This represents a very diverse set of users for over 7000 customers. The plugin is delivered from an enterprise VPN appliance and the users can access "Internal" resources securely. By blocking the plugin this will severely impact the enterprise support for Firefox.  We received whitelisting for the Firefox on Mac OSX version () but we also need it for the Linux and the Windows version of Firefox.

Just realized that I need to create a bug for just Linux so please disregard the plugin information for Windows as I will be creating other bug(s) for those.

We will be shutting down the plugin whitelist, and are not accepting new applications or renewals. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
