Npapi Firefox plugin VS2013 Development example

Npapi Firefox plugin VS2013 Development example

Below is a demo that I have done on my own, and provide code downloads based on the online development sample.

Development environment

Windows 8.1 x64 Visual Studio 2013

Preparatory work

First need to download from the official website Firefox source (also can download other versions), there is the development of plug-in required header files.

Official website:, http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/33.0/source/firefox-33.0.source.tar.bz2

Download and unzip and find the SDK.

Note the different versions, different locations.

Second, make sure that your Visual Studio 2013 has VC + + installed

Another: My network disk:

Firefox SDK: Http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdhAmrD

Demo Source: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTrByC3

Start example

1. Open VS2013 file à new project à Win32 project

   Find Np_entry.cpp,npn_gate.cpp,npp_gate.cpp

   Copy the three files to the solution root directory.

   After adding

   Change into

   Then, in the project right-click Add C + + class

   Project Right-click Add New Item

   Add Content:

library "Nptest" exports     np_ Getentrypoints @1     np_initialize @2     np_shutdown @3

By this, the plugin has finished.

Compilation succeeded. If you encounter problems, be aware that the configuration and header files are added correctly.

Write to the registry:

Hkey_current_user\software\mozillaplugins\ @pyc. com/nptest;version=1.0

Add path to the generated DLL

Enter in Firefox: about:plugins refresh to see.

Summary

This document only records the development process so that you can review it later. If there is a mistake, please correct me. Because I am not familiar with VC + +, so also can not say a 123, but I have a warm heart, love to learn. I think the language is the same, as long as the kung fu deep, iron rods can also grind into needles.
