I recently had a ticket with a similar question.
Chrome no longer supports NPAPI since Sep 2015, we already have a KB item published for this issue:
https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=61014728
Now, FireFox is beginning to supress java plugin support.
Instead of using Editlive, TinyMCE is the recommended editor that is been used going forward in WEM versions. It was introduced to help resolve the client browser/java version dependency limitation challenged by using EditLive since version 8.1. And it's included in the OOTB WEM 8.5 as default editor for rich text editing in WEM.
TinyMCE is the replacement of EditLive, do you know when or which version will OpenText stop supporting EditLive? When should we have to migrating over to TinyMCE?
Currently, version 8.1.3.51 is the latest ELJ that we support in our latest version of WEM.
I haven't seen any official announcement saying when we cease the support for EditLive. But at least for the next version of WEM (version 16), it is said to have a newer Editlive version (wait for the release notes to confirm the actual supported ELJ version), which means it's still being supported by us.
TinyMCE is our replacement for EditLive, and since it runs in javascript rather than java it doesn't require the java plugin and will continue working.I don't know what our plan for ELJ will be moving forward, but if the browsers don't support a way to run java inside of them then people will not be able to run ELJ and there's no way that we can fix that.I don't know of any immediate plans to drop support for ELJ, but it looks like the writing is on the wall -- if the browsers we support don't support it, we're not likely to continue supporting ELJ.
