When will Firefox no longer allow plugins (like Silverlight)?

Chrome recently published a new release that disables plugins by default. In September, they will release an update that will disallow plugins altogether. What are your plans for disallowing plugins in the future?

There are no plans for now. Plugin support will continue for the time being. we are working on making viable alternatives to plugins, so users don't need to use them, but we will support existing plugins for sometime.
