If you are using “Edit with Application” functionality over HTTP, no additional setup is required. If you are using a browser that still supports the NPAPI plug-in architecture, you can leverage “Edit with Application” functionality.
If you do not want your Filr users to use the “Edit with Application” functionality, then disable WebDAV for the Filr site. Users can use the “Edit with Application” functionality to edit a file only if WebDAV is enabled on the Filr site. Micro Focus anticipates that other browser vendors might also discontinue support for the Java browser plug-in in the near future. Because Filr’s “Edit with Application” functionality relies on the plug-in, “Edit with Application” is no longer supported in these browsers. Due to security concerns about the NPAPI cross platform plug-in architecture, Google’s Chrome browser version 45 and later and Microsoft’s Edge browser have discontinued support for the Java browser plug-in.
