Summary
Mozilla Firefox disabled the Add-On interface NPAPI starting with Firefox Version 52. Firefox Add-Ons using the NPAPI are automatically disabled in Firefox Version 52 and above.
Fabasoft Folio has used the NPAPI from Firefox, but with anouncement of the deprecation of the NPAPI, Fabasoft re-developed it's Firefox Add-On to further support the Fabasoft Folio Client with newer versions of Mozilla Firefox.

Details
The new installation of the Fabasoft Folio Client by running FolioClient.msi will install the Folio Client (including the Tray Icon). For communication from Firefox to the Folio Client, the Firefox Add-On FolioFirefoxExtension.xpi (in the same directory as FolioClient.msi) needs to be installed additionally, when preinstalling or rolling out the software.
For a manual installation by the user, the browser wellness factor is shown in the "Account" button on the top right corner. If it shows a red exclamation mark, the details will offer to install the Firefox Add-On as well as the Folio Client.
