Hi! I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.
First I couldn't compile the plugin having just firefox-dev installed because npapi.h was missing. Then I installed npapi-sdk-dev also and I could compile it.
In my ~/.mozilla folder there are only folders named "extensions" and "firefox", no "plugins" folder. I created a plugins folder manually and copied the npWacomWebPlugin.so there. I also copied it into the extensions folder. But nothing happens. Muro does not recognize pen pressure (unless I miss some manual setting) and the plugin is also not listed in firefox plugins or extensions. Am I missing something?

Update:
I just read here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/383960/where-is-firefoxs-plugins-directory

Update for Firefox >=52

As of Firefox 52 support for NPAPI plugins as been dropped. All plugins living in one of the above directories are ignored, with the exception of Adobe Flash.

Sorry about that, as you've found the support for is type of plugin has been end-of-life'd in most browsers now (including on Windows). I haven't investigated if it's possible to fake the Wacom API through a more modern type such as WebExtensions, but it would require a different approach to handle the native parts anyway.

If you're looking for some good software for creating art, compatible with a tablet, I'd recommend checking out Krita :)

I know this is kinda late, but I've been trying to develop an art tool that runs in the browser and it's not a great experience since I'm running on Linux and can only check pressure support through laggy Windows 10 VMs. It would be swell to see if this is even possible.
