Replying to [comment:4 genodeftest]:

browser plugins left. Whoever is using plugins probably doesn't care about
security or privacy anyway.

On my Fedora 23 system right now, I have:

"Plugin 0: Evince Browser Plugin; The a
href=http:wiki.gnome.orgAppsEvinceEvincea 3.18.2 plugin handles documents
inside the browser window.; libevbrowserplugin.so. Plugin 1: Gnome Shell
Integration; This plugin provides integration with Gnome Shell for live
extension enabling and disabling. It can be used only by
extensions.gnome.org; libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so. Plugin 2: IcedTea-
Web Plugin using IcedTea-Web 1.6.2 fedora-1.fc23-x86_64; The a
href=http:icedtea.classpath.orgwikiIcedTea-WebIcedTea-Web Plugina executes
Java applets.; IcedTeaPlugin.so. Plugin 3: iTunes Application Detector;
This plug-in detects the presence of iTunes when opening iTunes Store URLs
in a web page with Firefox.; librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so. "

Notice that IcedTea helpfully also notes that it's Fedora.
