Bug#888396: firefox: Shouldn't suggest mozplugger any more

Package: firefox
Version: 58.0-1
Severity: minor

I don't think Firefox should be suggesting mozplugger any more -- AFAICT
mozplugger provides an NPAPI plugin, and since non-ESR builds of Firefox 52,
and 53 generally, such plugins are no longer supported.

So, while mozplugger is still available, installing it won't do anything
useful in Firefox.
