I want to have an equivalent of NPAPI plugin for Firefox (or just any other sane browser).
Generally I need IE to start my own program in response to object tag and let it
draw the content itself.
Where do I start?

@NikeDattani Hi! If the question will be very similar as the one linked above, no, because it's not about using a specific web-application (web-browsers are not web-applications).
If I may ask just one more question, I do notice here that if I scroll all the way down to the bottom, I see Web Applications at the bottom of the list. This is despite posting apparently 4 times on the site. Would you be able to look at those posts and give me some advice on how to improve them?
All "find your friends" Facebook apps listed here: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-ways-facebook-friends-world-map/, do not work anymore. This article was from 2011, but all searches for more recent alternatives have been fruitless.
There is of course the "nearby friends" feature, but it only sh...
@NikeDattani IMHO the above question doesn't look to be a good fit for webapps as it's not about using a webapp but about company decisions. Actually nowadays we have a canned close reason for questions like it:
<quote> Questions that ask about the internal policies, technologies, and algorithms of web application companies are off-topic because only the company or its developers truly know the answer. Please see: Why we're not customer support for your favorite company </quote>
By the way I have [tag:facebook*] in my ignore list... I usually only look at them when doing my diamond moderator duties.
IMHO your other question also doesn't look to be a good fit, it looks to be "too broad" / "needs more focus".
@Rubén The question was not about company decisions, since I was asking why these Facebook apps (which are not written by Facebook) are no longer working.
Thanks for giving me advice about the two question that I asked. What about this answer? Gmail (which is a web app?) does not sort emails the way the OP wants, and I gave them useful advice to search "size:5242880" to list emails of size 5242880 bytes:
If I understand you correctly, you would like to be able to view the size of each email conversation like it can be done in some email clients, such as this one:
Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be possible in Gmail. One instead has to search "size:5242880" to list emails of size 5242880 bytes...
IMHO the answer looks to be too chatty , I suggest you to remove the first paragraph and image as well the last statement to make the answer have only the "useful advice". Maybe adding links to related questions providing the same advice and/or the link to the related official help article.
@Rubén I figured that it might be considered "too chatty". I'll make those improvements that you suggested! I do wonder though, about the voting culture in this community. You can see that I'm active on dozens and dozens of sites and this is the only one where I have a negative reputation. (0 upvotes on 3 posts, and 1 downvote on the fourth post). I agree that this answer was a bit more chatty than usual, and that the questions were not the best,
but there does seem to be a disconnect between how people vote here compared to other sites in the network.
@NikeDattani I have not seen that but I believe you. Regarding "the disconnect", I can't tell as I'm active only on very few sites and I don't see that disconnection. Anyway, it's good getting you back in Web Applications :)
