:: Details

currently the latest nightly 55.0a.1 has put back session restore into parent process and this greatly speeds up session restore however it doesn't have support for NPAPI such as JAVA.  I have even tried plugin.load_flash_only set to false in 55.0a.1 and doesn't work. pluginreg.dat kept getting reset and remove java data section.

52 ESR with java works great, however the session restore isnt in parent process and it is extremely slow. please add ESR support to nightly 55 or firefox 55 when it is out.

This is not a documentation issue; moving it over to the Firefox team.

This isn't the right forum to request changes to the trains. Ask in the relevant mailing list / newsgroup instead.
