Unfortunately the GNOME team never removed evince-browser-plugin in Factory/Tumbleweed even they decided to do so for 13.2 (so it is back in 42.2 too), and neither the GNOME/GTK, evince, nor Mozilla upstream developers care about that (everybody say "it's not our fault" AIUI). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The mentioned GNOME bug report is here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738270 Apparently the bug number in the change log is slightly wrong, but the correct one has been mentioned here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906687#c44 ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

OK thanks for the info. I suppose this can be closed with upstream's wontfix.

Actually, it should get fixed on Firefox's side too (in v52 non-ESR), because they apparently have removed support for netscape plugins completely (except flash-player): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269807

Slightly OT but is there a KDE version (Okular?) plugin for browsers. I see on the web that there are other PDF readers, but specifically browser plugins, I cannot find.

There was (is) a plugin to use KDE's KParts (allows certain KDE applications, including okular, being embedded in other applications), but I don't know the current state of this. (and it probably will not work in future Firefox versions anyway). Firefox should have an internal PDF viewer though, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox . (this also mentions available plugins: Adobe Acrobat, MozPlugger, or KParts plugin, and that support for NPAPI plugins will be dropped in March 2017) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
