Are there any variations in the plugin file name, MIME types, description, or version from one release to the next? 

The version numbers changes depending on the release

Are there any known security issues in current or older versions of the plugin? No

Plan to move away from NPAPI?

Right now we are researching and building prototypes for different ways to launch a meeting without NPAPI.  We have not chosen an approach but we are heavily researching js-ctypes to communicate between the application and the browser.

Is there also a 32-bit plugin on Mac, or does WebEx64.plugin work for both x86 and x86-64 users?

Builds for testing are now available at http://people.mozilla.org/~bsmedberg/plugin-whitelisting-91f6f3380041/

Please do a QA pass using a new Firefox profile to ensure that the plugin activates without a popup and appears as "Always Activate" in the addon manager. Report back in this bug when QA is complete. Please try to complete QA by the end of this week.
