Title:
  rhythmbox-mozilla should be suggested not recommended

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Most other NPAPI plugins have been dropped from the Ubuntu-family
  default install (totem - ubuntu,  gecko-mediaplayer - lubuntu), we
  should default to not having the rhytmbox-mozilla plugin installed as
  well.

  Reasoning:
  * privacy/tracking implications in including plugins [1]
   * NPAPI is being disabled in Chrome/Chromium [2] this does affect this indirectly as "real" iTunes will have to show it is installed another way (or hopefully they could just start using standards..)
   * Plugin support is being deprecated in Firefox and will trigger click-to-play, which AFAICT may make this itunes plugin useless.[3]

  Totem also just removed their browser plugins for the above and some
  technical reasons (the technical reasons don't seem applicable to the
  itunes plugin though) [3]

  (Also proposed upstream to just remove the support entirely, no
  response yet - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729285)
