When I try to install the Chrome plugin for GWT, I get the following text in a popup: "NPAPI plugin is required by this app". All of the NPAPI installs look complicated. Is there an easy way to get this installed?
Also, when I installed the Firefox plugin, Firefox refused to start again without a complete "factory" reset. 

The Internet Explorer plugin works, so I'm developing in IE. 
I don't like IE.
Please stop the torture.

Any suggestions? :)

Hi Millie,

 I'm experiencing the same problem.  I'm on Windows 8.  Did you find a solution?

I'm not familiar with Windows 8, but I believe you have to run Chrome outside "metro mode" to get plugins to work.

The NPAPI is being deprecated by the Chrome team this year. You might look into super-dev mode instead, since you are having trouble anyways.
