No. 

 

Firefox, Edge Chromium and other modern browsers should not have to adopt legacy technology like NaCl or do workarounds in order to run outdated Web apps like Google Earth.  Google should port Google Earth from the outdated, legacy and depreciated NaCl engine to the current standard WebAssembly engine. 

 

The good news is that Google is in the process of doing so in the Google Earth beta, and that beta, although fluky in spots, seems to work reasonably well with Firefox and other modern browsers.
