I'm not aware of any time line for ending "NPAPI" plugin support in Firefox for desktop systems. However, the "click-to-play" feature, which has been modified in several recent releases, might get some further revisions...

The article is misleading. As written it looks like it is being blocked, but it is the click to play feature they are talking about.
