On my Fedora 23 system right now, I have: "Plugin 0: Evince Browser Plugin; The a href=http:wiki.gnome.orgAppsEvinceEvincea 3.18.2 plugin handles documents inside the browser window.; libevbrowserplugin.so. Plugin 1: Gnome Shell Integration; This plugin provides integration with Gnome Shell for live extension enabling and disabling. It can be used only by extensions.gnome.org; libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so. Plugin 2: IcedTea- Web Plugin using IcedTea-Web 1.6.2 fedora-1.fc23-x86_64; The a href=http:icedtea.classpath.orgwikiIcedTea-WebIcedTea-Web Plugina executes Java applets.; IcedTeaPlugin.so. Plugin 3: iTunes Application Detector; This plug-in detects the presence of iTunes when opening iTunes Store URLs in a web page with Firefox.; librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so.
