Why would you want to use NPAPI at this point?  IE hasn't supported it in a long time, and Chrome is deprecating it over the course of the year.  That pretty much leaves Firefox, Safari, and a couple smaller browsers.  Of course, the native browser plugin picture is pretty fragmented at this point, since every browser supports different plugin interfaces.

If you can't get htod to work, you may want to try out dstep, though it doesn't work well with preprocessor macros:

I'm pretty sure firefox already disables all NPAPI plugins by default unless it's in a specific whitelist.

Apparently the difference is that Chrome is getting rid of NPAPI altogether, while Firefox will still allow it but make users click on the plugin in a page to enable it on a case-by-case basis:
