After installing the update this morning, a .pdf link would not display. SJ asked me to right click the page to enable the chrome pdf player. I reinstalled Sumatra, my go-to .pdf viewer, and no change. chrome://plugins shows only maybe 8 entries, whereas it used to have maybe 20. I suppose the plugins are still there but are not being recognized, but I'm not sure.

I have 4 plugins showing pepperflash,widevine,chrome pdf and the native client where before i had at least 10. I think it may be that chrome have killed npapi by default ?

Edit: yeah i was right type or copy/paste to address bar chrome://flags/#enable-npapi then enable then scroll to bottom relaunch and hey presto your plugins should be back.

Ok, thanks very much.

I now have 10 plugins, whereas I had five this morning. But I'm still missing probably another 10, including the Sumatra pdf plugin whose absence tipped me off to this problem.

I would re install the ones that are missing, i had one one missing too divx player after i had re enabled npapi but fixed and back now after a fresh install

Reinstall didn't bring Sumatra back.

Even after you re enabled npapi ?

https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sum ... ser-plugin. Maybe try the bottom bit.

Yes, after I reenabled.

Thank you, that page explained everything. I installed Sumatra 2.52, then upgraded to 3.0, and it seems to be back in order. I don't know what else I lost, but so be it.

Thanks much,
Paul
